Explore the workflowThe institutional toolset never made it to your desk.
So the macro work gets done anyway — across a data provider here, a spreadsheet there, three chart sites, a PDF folder, and a news feed nobody filtered.
The workflow is the bottleneck.
Every question means rebuilding context by hand. Nothing carries from the macro read to the security to the position.
One chain. On every desk, not one.
The regime call, the confirmation, the security work, and the exposure all live in the same workspace — in the browser, on every desk.
How the terminal works
One canvas. Four questions at once.
A macro read is never one screen. The workspace lets you put the regime call, the chart, the surface, and the tape next to each other and keep them there — the layout is yours, not ours.
Product capture — not a live feedZinscapital
Call it up
Press ` or ⌘K and type a mnemonic. MR for the macro regime, SPLC NVDA for a company’s chain. Code first or ticker first — both parse.
It opens as a window
Not a page you navigate to. Each module is a movable, resizable window on one canvas, so opening the next thing never closes the last one.
Tile it how you think
Grid, columns, rows, or cascade from the toolbar — or Alt+G to snap everything open into an even grid, sized to the screen.
Keep the layout
Name a workspace and switch between them with Alt+1…9. Each one comes back the way you left it, next session included.
The canvas needs tablet-landscape width or wider. Every module also opens as a full responsive page on its own.

Systematic OS
Run the trend book the way a CTA runs it.
Trend, carry, and crowding across 70 futures markets, assembled into a model portfolio with volatility-targeted sizing, a risk ladder, and replication analytics against the managed-futures industry.
- Signal ensemble across 70 liquid global futures markets
- Model portfolio with volatility-targeted position sizing
- Risk ladder: VaR, expected shortfall, and drawdown budget
- Crowding diagnostics and replication against systematic peers
VOL
Volatility Lab
Trade the surface, not the single quote.
A fitted volatility surface with forward vol, shadow Greeks, strategy scanning, and point-in-time backtesting — the hedging desk's view of an underlying rather than a single option chain.
- Fitted surface with term structure and skew context
- Forward volatility and shadow Greek diagnostics
- Strategy scanner with defined-risk framing
- Point-in-time backtest of the structure you are considering
SPLC
Company Intelligence
See what a company actually depends on.
Customers, suppliers, and competitors extracted from filings into one graph, so a print, a tariff, or a guidance cut can be traced to the names that sit downstream of it.
- Supply and customer relationships mapped from primary filings
- Peer set, filings, and news in one company dossier
- Trace a shock through the chain, not just the ticker
- Built for read-through work ahead of the market
PWR
Power & AI-load desk
Follow the load. Identify the constraint.
Study electricity markets, generation economics, and data-centre demand together. Keep physical capacity and market pricing in the same research frame.
- Regional electricity-market context
- Generation cost and capacity analysis
- Data-centre demand and infrastructure constraints
- Source coverage and model assumptions alongside the result

Macro Regime Brief
The useful questions, answered plainly.
Clear product state, clear plans, and no execution or advisory ambiguity.
Who is ZinsCapital built for?
Single-family offices, emerging managers, independent research desks, and systematic or quant traders who need a repeatable macro research process without a traditional terminal installation.
How do I get access?
Submit an access request or arrange a walkthrough. We will contact you about availability and the appropriate coverage for your desk. Submitting a request does not create an active terminal account or start a paid subscription.
Is ZinsCapital a trading or advisory service?
No. ZinsCapital is a research and analytics platform. It does not execute trades, hold client assets, manage portfolios, or provide personalised investment advice.
How is the methodology different from a chart library?
The research functions follow one sequence: classify the global regime, assess monetary and credit conditions, seek cross-asset confirmation, then map the result to securities and portfolio exposures.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The terminal runs in the browser on any machine, with no desktop client, no dedicated hardware, and no per-seat licence negotiation.
Can teams use their own workflows and data?
Arrange a walkthrough to discuss your team's seats, data-delivery requirements, configured workflows, and onboarding. Institutional scope and pricing are agreed individually; integrations are not implied to be available for every series.
