The start of summer and the warmer weather brings a new batch of summer interns at Quantbot! With most of our interns having started, they and us were invited to a welcome reception hosted by Schonfeld Strategic Advisors at Chelsea Piers this past Tuesday. This was a great opportunity for our interns to meet and chat with each other and meet some of the Schonfeld interns as well. We're all looking forward to a fun and productive summer season!

On March 13, 2019, Quantbot Technologies was represented at MIT's Finance Research Practicum final presentation session at the MIT campus in Boston. As sponsors of the prestigious practicum this year, two of our employees mentored two separate groups of interns in their research projects through the first two months of 2019. One group focused on Fundamentals Nowcasting and the other worked on an Analysis of Commitments of Traders Reports for Commodities and Financial Futures. While in Boston we had an opportunity to not only see the results of the projects we participated in, but see and learn about every other research project as well. From Machine Learning techniques to ESG analysis, the students tackled interesting and varied research projects for the practicum, and we are excited to have been a  sponsor this year.

On March 5th,  our CEO hosted the latest instalment of the NY chapter of the CERN alumni group. The event was well attended by former CERN scientists that are now active in academia and a wide variety of industries such as finance, automotive and biotech.

The NY Team got to bond over an open bar, food, and plenty of games hosted by Slate NY.  Among pinball, skee ball, pool, and ping pong... some of our employees got to play Connect Four for their FIRST time!
