Our name
People frequently inquire about our name. We named the company 15Rock after a zen garden in Kyoto, named RyĆan-ji.
There are fifteen rocks there, but not all of them are visible at once.
There are many ideas about this garden but one saying is this zen garden was created to demonstrate how altering one's perspective results in an entirely different image. Things that were previously invisible have become visible, while previously visible objects have become obscured.

According to legend, enlightenment is defined as the ability to perceive all 15 rocks simultaneously.
Our mission is to leverage technology to provide perspective.

Our values
All of our decisions at 15Rock are guided by our values. We make long-term decisions that we are proud of rather than purely financial ones. As a result, we are true community partners.
People's values matter
Investments are not inseparable from human values. Numerous exceptional investors understand this but struggle to obtain the data and analytics necessary to make decisions from this perspective. We are attempting to rectify this.
Communities matter
Businesses and investors have an obligation to the communities in which they operate. Customers want to know that their values and the actions of businesses are consistent.
Innovation
Investment management has evolved to the point where technology plays a critical role. Systems capable of analyzing and providing insights on massive amounts of data are not a nice to have; they are central to our approach.
Team work
We respect one another's differences. True innovation and progress take place when disparate ideas collide. We would rather have unique individuals who do not fit in anywhere else than a culture where everyone is identical.
Our story
After years of working in trading and risk/valuation for global financial institutions, the two founders of 15Rock felt that investment management lacked true rigor when it came to climate risk.
They saw investors relying on external ratings or low quality research, and knew that something had to be done.
Investors who are data driven, seemed to ignore data to be in climate.
Climate change is one of the biggest investment opportunities in the world, and the team wanted to use their expertise in risk and valuation to help companies understand the cost of inaction and the potential upside of solving the problem.

Climate change is one of the biggest investment opportunities in the world, and the team wanted to use their expertise in risk and valuation to help companies understand the cost of inaction and the potential upside of solving the problem.
With over 20 years of experience pricing everything from rates and options to corn and weather futures, they knew they could make a difference to price the risk.
This is a difficult and complex journey, but one that is essential for the future of our planet. We invite you to join us in this mission, and together we can make a real impact.
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time that we can control.
We approach this problem very differently than others - we see climate as a valuation issue where there is a major price mismatch of inaction. There is high and growing cost of inaction that will cripple many companies and ultimately destabilize many economies.
We model the risk and run hundreds of scenarios on assets all over the world using a scientifically validated framework with state of the art machine learning models.
By pricing the risk, we unlock the ability to transfer the risk to other parties, to measure counter-party risk and many, many others.
This is one of the hardest problems to solve within capital markets and our team loves working on this challenge with some of the worldâs largest institutions and smartest minds to stop climate change from creating more suffering.
