Make Your Own Ice Cream Sundaes! The End of Summer Intern Farewell in New York

On Wednesday, the New York office had a farewell event for the summer interns, as the internships for 2025 wrap up throughout August. The interns celebrated the end of an exciting, insightful, and successful summer at Quantbot along with the rest of the team, reflecting on the past few months of learning and developing as professionals. 

Everyone enjoyed delicious sandwiches from All'Antico Vinaio, as well as ice cream sundaes in the kitchen, complete with a wide variety of flavors and toppings to choose from. While we are sad for the interns to leave, we look forward to seeing many of them as future Quantbot employees who will help to grow and enhance the company!

Partner and Intern Lunches for Summer 2025!

Throughout this summer, all of our New York interns have had the opportunity to enjoy group lunches with each of our US-based Quantbot partners. Over delicious catered food, the interns had the chance to pick the brains of our seasoned professionals, as well learn about the partners’ experiences starting and growing Quantbot over 15+ years. It is always exciting to meet the new generation of enthusiastic interns, and Paul, Ashar, Mike, Rohit, and Tom are all glad to have had the chance to speak with them in a more personal setting.

In the London office, Thuong also held a lunch with our two interns, alongside directors Dan and Tim, as they all discussed their progress that has been made this summer. As we are coming to the end of the intern season, we wish nothing but the best for those who have joined us at Quantbot this summer!

F1 Arcade Racing Simulator Event in London!

Start your engines! The London office enjoyed an exhilarating evening at the F1 arcade, competing in four teams of four against each other. With endless food and drinks, the fun lasted all evening, with Joe taking the win overall after 28 total rounds. Lily and Zihao from the New York office also joined in on the fun, which was a special treat! As the sun began to set, the shades were brought up to reveal stunning views of St. Paul’s Cathedral right next to the venue.

As July comes to a close, we look forward to more visitors in London for the summer, as well as lots of more outings!

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!

Fascinating Lecture from Qognitive on Quantum Cognition Machine Learning!

On May 5th, the Quantbot team in New York had the privilege of hearing from Kharen Musaelian and Dario Villani of Qognitive, as they presented their lecture, "Quantum Cognition Machine Learning: a path to human-like abstraction and inference.”

The lecture outlined new machine learning developments being made by Qognitive employees that could potentially benefit many spheres of our day-to-day lives, from finance to health care. Qognitive informed us of their unique approach that allows them to scale large data sets, providing additional insights that statistical learning techniques may miss. 

We thoroughly enjoyed engaging with the representatives from Qognitive and learning about their innovative developments, and we look forward to hearing more in the future!

Exciting Competition Ensues at the Schonfeld Phd Datathon with Codewilling!

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.
