Laurence Kingsley
Laurence Kingsley is the founder of SolePursuit Capital Syndicate and a long-time advocate of process-first, systematic investing. Drawing on decades of market practice, he focuses on turning complex, noisy environments into clear rules, guardrails, and routines so that investors can act with calm discipline instead of emotional, prediction-driven decisions.
Approach
Kingsley treats markets as systems to be engineered, not puzzles to be guessed. He starts with structure—risk budgets, timeframes, and position limits—then encodes judgment into transparent rules. Automation is used to remove hesitation and noise, while human time is reserved for research, review, and improving the framework over many cycles.
Opinion
- A The enduring edge in modern markets is consistency. For Kingsley, rule-based routines with hard risk limits beat sporadic bursts of brilliance that cannot be repeated or audited.
- B He believes systematic trading should reduce stress, not amplify it. A good framework lets investors step back from screens, trusting tested processes instead of reacting to every headline.
- C Education and technology must move together. Tools without understanding are dangerous, and theory without implementation is wasted; both need to align around clear, measurable portfolio objectives.

Research
Kingsley examines how delays between signal recognition and order execution erode edge. His work focuses on streamlined pipelines, pre-defined playbooks, and automation that closes the gap without surrendering oversight or risk control.
He develops frameworks that span equities, futures, FX, and digital assets, emphasizing risk budgets, diversification, and alignment between strategy horizons and the investor’s actual time, capital, and stress tolerance.
Kingsley’s research highlights portfolio-level thinking over single-trade outcomes, using statistics, drawdown analysis, and scenario testing to keep attention on long-run, risk-adjusted growth rather than short-term wins.
He treats investor education as infrastructure, designing curricula that turn complex quantitative concepts into stepwise routines, helping learners move from intuition-driven trading to structured, testable processes.
