Analysts
Our Departments
Investment
Research is responsible for developing, maintaining and enhancing the firm’s investment models, which produce the forecasts of returns, risks, and transaction costs that drive trading decisions. The team comprises quantitative researchers and quantitative developers with a diverse set of skills and backgrounds who work together closely to support and improve these models. Collectively, all team members work together to manage the production and validation of our forecasts on an ongoing basis.
Quant Research – The quantitative researchers within the team generally have more finance and statistics expertise, and often focus on transforming investment ideas into signals, back-testing the signals, and implementing changes to signals in the models.
Quant Dev – The quantitative developers within the team generally have more software development and technology expertise, and often focus on creating specialized tools and libraries to facilitate the quantitative research process, developing techniques to work with large volumes of complex data, and performing data analysis while optimizing the testing and implementation of new investment ideas.
Quantitative Developers help build our next-generation Research data platform leveraging open-source, cloud and distributed computing technologies. They work on high-impact projects that are quickly adopted and drive change across the team.
Investment Processes is responsible for designing systems that automate our investment decision-making and trading. The systems extract information contained in large financial data sets, combine it with risk and return forecasts, and propose the firm’s trading program. Investment Processes also creates tools to analyze and manage the resulting portfolios.
