Reflections on Quant Strats 2024 — And a Sneak Peek at 2025
A Look Back at Quant Strats Europe 2024!
As the buzz starts to build for Future Alpha Europe 2025, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the standout moments that shaped last year’s event. 🚀
Before we turn the page to the next chapter of quant innovation, let’s take a look at what makes Quant Strats a must attend event for industry leaders and enthusiasts!
Last October 8th at Convene 22 Bishopsgate, we brought together 256 delegates, 47 speakers, and 17 sponsors for an impactful day of discussions and networking.
Key themes
🔹 Building a successful data sourcing strategy
🔹 Quantifying market volatility’s impact on portfolios
🔹 Integrating AI, ML, and LLMs in investment processes
🔹 Exploring alternatives to equities (crypto, private assets)
🔹 Novel approaches to portfolio construction
Popular questions tackled at Quant Strats
🔹Model Performance Over Time: What checks or systems do you use to ensure your ML models don’t deteriorate over time and continue to generate alpha?
🔹 Cloud vs Internal Compute: How do you evaluate the trade-off between investing in internal hardware vs cloud-based compute for machine learning workloads?
🔹 Liquidity in Credit Markets: Given the lower liquidity in credit markets compared to equities; how do you effectively test quant strategies while accounting for real-world liquidity constraints?
🔹 Alt Data vs Traditional Data: Roughly what percentage of capital in your flagship funds is driven by strategies built on alternative datasets vs traditional financial data?
🔹 Systematic Fixed Income: What changes or developments would you like to see in the fixed income space to accelerate the adoption of systematic strategies?
