Düsseldorf, 10 March 2026 – Alphawave GmbH concludes the 2025 financial year with a technological and operational statement of strength. The company is now having the entire performance history of the years 2024 and 2025 externally audited in order to validate the reliability of its trading results by independent third parties. The background to this step is the impressive consistency of the live results: in the fourth quarter of 2025 alone, Alphawave achieved a return of 11.59%. This continues the positive trend at an accelerated pace following a strong Q3 (+7.61%).

“The audit is the logical next step for us to demonstrate that our years of research and the real market performance are aligned,” explains CEO Jan-Patrick Krüger. “We openly show how our systems operate even during challenging market phases. This transparency is the foundation for our further growth.”

From May 2024 until the end of 2025, the cumulative return amounts to 35.05%, with the system maintaining its asymmetric risk structure and a simultaneously very moderate risk profile even during difficult phases.

A decisive advantage for investors is the lack of correlation: Alphawave generates its results largely independently of whether major equity markets rise or fall. For example, while German DAX recorded losses in the third quarter of 2025, Alphawave delivered a +7.61% return.

Total 2025
Alphawave: +20.48%
DAX 40: +21.63%
S&P 500: +16.12%
EuroStoxx 50: +17.85%
MSCI World (iShares ACC EUR): +7.91%

“It becomes clearly evident that we operate with a strong degree of uncorrelation,” Jan-Patrick Krüger continues. “While indices such as the DAX and the EuroStoxx were driven last year by exceptional sector strength, over a full market cycle our models demonstrate clear outperformance even compared to these markets, combined with a more moderate risk exposure.”

“Our strategy is designed to capitalize on market phases regardless of their direction. Through our specialized approach, we generate market-agnostic returns by specifically identifying volatility and short-term market distortions and transforming them into return opportunities. Alphawave actively uses market fluctuations (volatility) as an opportunity rather than passively waiting for rising prices. Our system specifically identifies short-term market distortions and relies on their return to the mean (mean reversion). Through this counter-cyclical approach, we provide the market with necessary liquidity during volatile phases and thereby contribute to the stabilization of trading venues.”

With the initiation of the audit, Alphawave is creating the necessary transparency to complete the transition to institutional standards and to further strengthen its position as a reliable partner in the capital markets.

Through this bond, investors can directly participate in the development of the technology. The offering includes two maturity variants with interest rates of 8.00% and 8.50% per year.
