The People Behind Athena

Luciano Fabbri Soto-Aguilar is Founder & Portfolio Manager of Athena Quantitative Strategies — a firm created to develop a systematic proprietary trading platform grounded in rigorous research, risk discipline, and institutional-grade execution infrastructure.

He brings more than five years of experience in banking treasury, front-office trading, and financial risk at some of Chile's leading banking institutions. At Banco Itaú he joined the International Trading Desk, focused on trading and market making of international IRS, cross-currency basis swaps, and G20 FX, as well as managing the international rates portfolio across strategy, positioning, and risk. At Banco BCI he held roles in financial risk including market risk, banking-book liquidity, stress testing, and the development of quantitative models and tools. At Banco de Chile he participated in the implementation and coordination of technology projects for treasury and markets.

His career combines experience across proprietary trading, market making, portfolio management, risk architecture, and the development of quantitative tools for treasury and capital markets operations.

He holds a Certificate in Quantitative Finance (CQF) from the Fitch Institute in London, where he achieved an 89% average, and a degree in Industrial Civil Engineering from the Universidad de Concepción, graduating second in his class with highest distinction.

Athena reflects his conviction that the most durable capabilities in financial markets are built on quantitative depth, risk control, operational discipline, and robust infrastructure.
