Perry J. Kaufman is a financial engineer, well-known for developing algorithmic strategies for the global equity and futures markets.
Beginning as a “rocket scientist” in the Aerospace Industry, where he worked on the navigation and control systems for Gemini, Mr. Kaufman has applied his broad knowledge and experience in computers and technology to trading methods and risk analysis for institutional and commercial applications.
