Beyond Backtest Masterclass at Quant Strats Europe 2025!

On October 15th, Paul and Tom took part in this year’s Quant Strats event in London, reflecting on how far quant development has come during their presentation called “Beyond Backtest – Stress-Testing Quant Strategies for Regime Shifts and Fragility.” The two hour masterclass explained how Quantbot explores a wide range of datasets and applies machine learning to uncover alpha, demonstrating our ability to build strategies that survive and thrive in any market. 

Their engaging session discussed stress-testing for regime shifts and outlined the tools and framework used to test, refine, and scale multi-million dollar strategies. They also had the opportunity to demo a new Generative AI tool on datasets from Code Willing.

A huge congratulations goes out to Paul, who was selected as a finalist for the Quant Strats Hot 10, highlighting the most influential quant leaders. We are already looking forward to next year’s conference!

Turning the London Office into a Cocktail Making Masterclass!

After a long day at work, there is nothing better than to walk into the kitchen to find it transformed into a cocktail making station! The London office had the treat last night to learn how to make Espresso Martinis and Passionfruit Martinis by a professional mixologist, as well as compete against one another to see who could create the best original concoction. While some made the bold choice to add energy drinks and protein shakes to their creations, Chanya and Tori’s unique fruity cocktails with muddled fresh berries ultimately won the competition.

The event-filled summer is not over yet, and we look forward to more fun times for team bonding coming up!

Double Trivia Nights in the US and UK!

Last night, the New York and London offices both tested their trivia skills at fun quiz evenings, with the US team going to Ten32 and the UK Team at Andrea Bar! 

The London office was split up into two teams competing against each other and the rest of the pub patrons, with questions concerning pop culture, geography, music, movies, and more, highlighting each employee’s hidden bits of knowledge. The “Quizbot” team with Zac, Joe, Tori, Clara, and our new intern Wei managed to beat out the others by 15 points!

Everyone enjoyed lots of delicious food and cocktails, Thuong won a bottle of wine, and by the end, the group decided that this pub quiz may need to be a monthly tradition!

During the New York Office’s private trivia night, the group was split into five colorful teams, each trying to use their knowledge across a wide range of trivia categories in order to take home the win.

The venue had delicious food and drinks, fueling the fun as competition heated up just after the first round of questions. Round after round, with both full time employees and interns, all the teams continued to be neck and neck. But when all the trivia rounds were complete, even the Quantbot knowledge questions, the Purple Team emerged victorious! The Quantbot team is looking forward to even more events this summer!
