Quant Summit USA 2018

Memo

The quant playing field has been gradually changing over the years, and now we can see where many quants have shifted their focus. One of the big trends is the proliferation of machine learning in finance and its application in trading, asset allocation, stock selection, portfolio optimisation, risk management and compliance - to name just a few areas. We have also seen the buy-side adopting a more systematic approach to money management creating a fertile ground.
