➡️ Quant hedge funds and proprietary trading firms are converging, with prop shops extending into longer-term strategies and hedge funds experimenting with shorter-term signals. This overlap is reshaping the structure of systematic trading. ➡️ The convergence is intensifying competition for both talent and market opportunities. Hedge funds are poaching from trading firms with massive pay packages, while trading firms are becoming increasingly profitable clients for Wall Street. ➡️ As both sides scale into mid-frequency strategies, the risk of crowding and correlated drawdowns grows. The “quant quiver” of July showed how fragile these overlaps can be, raising concerns about future systemic shocks.

➡️ A rally in US stocks could experience turbulence in coming weeks due to near-term risks including stretched valuations and seasonal volatility. ➡️ Any potential weakness is unlikely to last, as tailwinds such as corporate spending on artificial intelligence and demand from retail traders are expected to give stocks a lift in the closing months of 2025. ➡️ Investors should treat short-term dips as buying opportunities, according to Citadel Securities' Scott Rubner, who advises to "stay constructive on structural demand but hedge near-term risks". https://lnkd.in/eP6_Ewwi
