Extracting alpha using quantitative methods Why quant? The investment universe is densely populated with skilled managers all hunting for elusive alpha. Amongst these managers a new breed is emerging: Generation Q - the investment managers that are backed by an arsenal of quantitative techniques and strategies that consistently give them the edge over others in the market. Quantitative managers take a scientific approach to financial markets, stripping human emotions such as fear and greed out of the equation. Instinct and intuition play little part in strategies that employ immense computing power. The disciplined process that underpins quantitative investment strategies means that while the models themselves are complex the investment philosophy of a quantitative manager is highly transparent. The algorithmic arms race is on - manager vs. machine in the battle for apha. "Since 7 out of the top 10 largest hedge funds are quant funds, shouldn't you learn more?."
