About
Founded by Robert Kehres and Kevin Schneider, Longshanks Capital is a proprietary trading firm focused on systematic equity derivatives strategies, combining automation, fundamental analysis, options theory, and quantitative research into a unified investment approach.
The firm was founded by an entrepreneur and fund manager with academic credentials from Oxford and Cambridge, alongside a PhD in Finance and postdoctoral researcher with affiliations at both institutions. Together, the founders bring a distinctive blend of institutional trading experience, academic rigor, and entrepreneurial drive.
Longshanks Capital operates with a philosophy of selectivity over scale, building a tightly focused team that values intellectual depth and strategic precision. Its core team has included the two Oxbridge founding partners, several traders educated at Oxford and Cambridge, and a group of quantitative strategists with academic backgrounds from the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
The firm takes its name from King Edward I of England (1239–1307), whose commanding presence and military prowess earned him the enduring title Longshanks—a nod to strength, resolve, and disciplined leadership.
