Be a Part of the Next Quant Revolution

Gen AI: hype or reality? Do novel data sources still exist? Where is the next source of Alpha?

With early signs of market stability in the familiar territories of North America and Europe returning, where is the next source of Alpha and how do we unlock it?

This conference will be grounded in answering those two questions here, plus many more. There will be debates, presentations and panels consisting of c-suite representatives from the largest and most influential funds with trillions of dollars under their management.

We will separate the signal from the noise by debating, discussing and delving into the key drivers and changes in the industry, with a specific focus on real life applications which give you a competitive edge.

Over the past 10 years, Quant Strats has built a unique audience, bringing together data, quant and investment functions from both the buy side and the sell side and the topics in the agenda include:

  • Searching for the next source of alpha
  • Finding novel data in a saturated market
  • Applying AI, ML, and NLP for risk and investment purposes
  • Onboarding, organising and actioning data for a variety of sources
  • Bringing together different functions to streamline decision making

SESSIONS YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS

9:10 AM - KEYNOTE PANEL: Will recent technological innovations unlock the next source of Alpha?

This panel will consist of systematic and discretionary managers who come from fundamental, quantitative and quanta mental funds to give their insights on where the market will move through different lenses:

  • With early signs of interest rates stabilizing and market volatility reducing, where are the opportunities to generate alpha?
  • To diversify or not to diversify? Where is the sweet spot for asset allocation?
  • Is the need for a human touch waning, or is it needed more than ever?
  • Have lower barriers to entry spelled the end for ‘easy alpha’?
