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!
