Last Saturday, Quantbot was a proud sponsor of MSCF’s 2024 Trading Competition, which was hosted by CMU’s MSCF Women in Quant Finance and Smart Women Securities. The one-day competition at Carnegie Mellon University brought together over 150 talented students from their MSCF program as well as CMU’s undergraduate programs to showcase their quantitative and trading skills. Inspired by the Rotman Trading Competition in Toronto, the event expanded access to market simulation games and offered exclusive networking opportunities with the sponsors, including Quantbot. 

As sponsors, Quantbot researchers and representatives were able to network throughout the day-long competition. We had a chance to meet with students across both Masters and Undergrad programs and observe firsthand the dedication and hard work the MSCF Program Office puts into their students. As always we are very appreciative of the chance to participate in MSCF events, and we look forward to sponsoring again in future!

On August 19th, Quantbot was featured in an article by Carnegie Mellon University. The spotlight was on our participation in a datathon event that happened in April and its impact on the students. At this event, our employees got the opportunity to collaborate with current CMU students.

The Carnegie Mellon article highlighted our team's dedication and ingenuity throughout the event as well as highlighted our sister company, Codewilling. It was a whirlwind of brainstorming, coding, and strategizing, culminating in a presentation. The experience showcased our commitment to leveraging data for impactful solutions and our collaborative spirit.

Looking ahead, we’re incredibly excited about the prospect of continuing our partnership with Carnegie Mellon and working with their students. Their reputation for excellence and innovation aligns perfectly with our own values, and we’re eager to explore more opportunities in the future.

A huge thank you to Carnegie Mellon for the feature and for the opportunity to collaborate on this event. Quantbot can’t wait for future experiences and successes in the future!
