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.

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.
