Quant Portfolio Manager Meetup Hosted by Schonfeld

Due to our continued relationship with Schonfeld Strategic Advisors, we were graciously invited to attend their first Quant Portfolio Manager Meetup and recruiting event on November 17, 2022 as one of the Portfolio Managers of interest. We had a wonderful time meeting some of the brightest and most promising future quants in NYC, while also promoting our intern program. Judging from this first event in NYC, our recruitment partnership with Schonfeld will continue to be a success, and we look forward to possibly welcoming some of these candidates to Quantbot as interns!

Ashar, Paul, and Katharina had a great night attending the meetup!

Research Social

It was Taco Tuesday for the research team! Quantbot’s research team munched on yummy tacos and had probably far too many margaritas during their most recent research social at Empellon Al Pastor Rooftop And Bar. It was a great, chill evening out and we look forward to doing it again.

NBCC Women with Balls 2022

Quantbot Annual Dinner 2021

It’s been a while since we’ve gathered together and what better way to celebrate than at the Annual Quantbot Dinner. Even though this year’s Annual Dinner was one unexpected “hot”dinner, we all managed to enjoy each other’s company and catch up for the missed year’s worth of stories.

To many more years (and dinners) at Quantbot together ! #teamquantbot
