The Quantbot Team Celebrates Another Year at the Joy of Sake!

On April 10th, members of the Quantbot team had the pleasure of attending the Joy of Sake annual tasting event at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York City. This much-anticipated event is a celebration of sake culture, featuring an incredible selection of premium sakes—over 500 labels from across Japan and the U.S.—alongside mouthwatering small plates from some of NYC’s top restaurants.

Our team enjoyed the opportunity to explore the wide range of flavors, styles, and brewing techniques that make sake such a unique and versatile beverage. It was a great night out for the Quantbot crew, and we’re already looking forward to next year’s Joy of Sake!

Exciting Competition Ensues at the Schonfeld Phd Datathon with Codewilling!

On April 3rd and 4th, Schonfeld held their PhD Datathon with Codewilling in New York City. Powered by Code Willing's CWIQ Suite, the Datathon was part of the second annual Schonfeld Early Engagement Summit, and allowed PhD candidates to demonstrate their skills in a competitive and exciting environment alongside industry professionals. Alongside Schonfeld portfolio managers and researchers, students helped to analyze institutional-grade datasets and develop quantitative models, made easier with the CWIQ Suite platform that enabled participants to efficiently build and test their models.

While the competition served to test the skills of the attendees, the post-competition discussions allowed students to engage in networking opportunities with members of the team, gaining insight into the fascinating culture and operations of Schonfeld. We are already looking forward to participating next time!

Engaging Discussions with Neudata at London Data Summit

On March 27th, Paul joined Ian Webster, Neudata’s CRO, on stage for a keynote talk titled “Future-proofing: Competing in an AI-driven, Constantly Changing Quant Landscape.” Ian kicked things off by asking Paul to compare managing Quantbot to parenting a seventeen-year-old—a question that prompted a rather entertaining and anecdotal response (if you were there to hear it).

The bulk of the discussion focused on the importance of data in the quantitative investment process, and how essential it is to have strong partners to support the non-IP side of the technical workload. Paul emphasized that AI and machine learning are now critical to taking ideas from the whiteboard to live trading. As such, maximizing the percentage of the team’s time spent on these core activities is of paramount importance.

A Focus on Partnerships at the 3Forge Expo in London

On March 26th, Paul had the opportunity to deliver a keynote presentation at the 3Forge Expo, held in the iconic Gherkin building in the heart of the City. After some reminiscing about the ‘old days,' Paul spoke about the importance of strong and reliable partnerships in the hyper-competitive world of quantitative investing—and how 3Forge exemplifies just such a partner. The event was also a perfect opportunity to connect with colleagues, partners, and friends whilst taking in the incredible views of the London skyline.

Pizza and Ice Cream Social!

As August, and summer, slowly comes to a close our interns will inevitably depart for new academic years or adventures ahead. While most of our interns are still around, we threw a casual pizza and build-your-own-sundae night. It was great to see our interns, strangers to us and each other a mere three months ago, comfortably mingle with their teams and Quantbot employees. As interns complete their projects we hope they can take the experience and accomplishments from this summer into their future successful careers. 

A big thank you to all our amazing interns this year 👏

You can’t be in NYC without getting some NY style pizza!

Squash in the City!

It’s always a surprise to see the businesses that can fit in a NYC skyscraper. In a nondescript office building in the middle of a nondescript Midtown block with barely any signage, there happens to be a top-of-art squash facility 5 floors in the air. Who knew? Thankfully Quantbot did, and that’s where we had our latest intern outing. Interns faced company employees, and each other, to see who’s squashing was the best. Some went all out, while others ate and drank where squash happened to be playing. Either way it was fun!
