During the unfolding financial crisis in 2008, we realized we had developed a
significant edge: Having collectively worked for a combined 80 years on
quantitative trading strategies and on the technology necessary to implement them successfully,
we were fully equipped to create our own, custom-made setup to serve clients.
- Michael Botlo, Co-Founder
One of the first things you learn managing investments is that diversification is
critically important to success. We knew from day one that we needed to design, develop and
deploy models across the global markets. To ensure we could effectively manage this global
trading, we set up offices in New York, London and Hong Kong, each run by experienced locals.
Collectively, these local teams work as one global team to ensure a quant based anywhere in the
world can have her strategy trade 24 hours a day while she works on new research. For us, being
global is more than just operational excellence, our collegial model means we actually talk to
each other and share ideas (while open communications may seem obvious to most people, in the
quant trading world we’ve found it to be pretty unusual). Having a diverse, global team of
quantitative thinkers means the quality of the ideas we discuss is substantially better than if
we were all just sitting together on Wall Street.
- Paul White, Co-Founder
Our founding partners have been running quant businesses together for almost 20
years. In order to survive and prosper over such a long period of time, we have developed a very
strong business process that we use to drive our investment program. The process allows us to
rapidly evaluate new ideas and move the good ones into successful strategies whilst controlling
operational and investment risk. So, while ideas and techniques may, and indeed do, change over
time, our overall approach does not, which ensures we can stay competitive with new market
participants.
- Paul White, Co-Founder
Our constant goal is to heavily invest in research and infrastructure. For instance,
when we started Quantbot, we had nobody to focus on using machine learning for alpha generation.
It took us a few years to find the right talent to join us. Once we did, we guided them through
our methods and set-up and slowly had them contribute to this new innovation that is needed to
be competitive. Same holds true for our focus on sourcing new and potentially interesting but
unproven datasets or our increased focus on computing-on-demand capabilities. We are, after all,
at heart, a research and technology company.
