Recently, quant-based strategies have been heating up in various sectors, from stock picking to technology. The ex-CIO for Dyson, for instance, has joined a Quant stockpicker. Seeking Alpha has published its top Quant picks in the IT and materials sectors ahead of Q3 earnings. Heubach Colorants has seen a 1.1% stake bought by Quant MF. However, such strategies face challenges, notably on the Chinese stock market where Quant hedge funds have been squeezed due to an unexpected glitch. Additionally, increasing traction in Quant trading has led to regulatory scrutiny in the crypto sphere, with US authorities charging several companies and individuals with cryptocurrency fraud.
Meanwhile, at the Quant Strats London 2024 event, industry professionals discussed strategies and also issues such as AI and geopolitics' impact on finance. The event also signaled a shift towards ETFs, with the launch of various Quant ETFs like Wolfe's. Unfortunately, several Quant funds have suffered losses from China's tightening of short-sale curbs. Insights from the 'Quants in the Wild' seminar suggest the importance of bridging theory and practice. Lastly, the late billionaire quant investing pioneer James Simons, has had lasting influence in the quant world.
