Meet the Q Team
We’re thinkers, builders and problem-solvers working in an environment defined by mutual respect, trust and a shared commitment to helping each other grow over time.
Alignment is how ideas are realized
Our work is grounded in science and brought to life through technology and alignment across our teams. From data specialists who source and shape information, to researchers who design and test models, to analysts who translate insights into systematic processes, every part of the organization plays a critical role in bringing ideas to life. Our implementation and systems teams ensure that innovation flows seamlessly from research to execution.
Curiosity shapes the Q Team. It brings together people who ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions and approach problem solving with openness and rigour.
Our specialized teams
The following teams collectively make up the Q Team. Each member brings a unique perspective and together we contribute to a shared success within quantitative finance.
We research and develop quantitative models to forecast stock returns and evaluate investment risk using a rigorous, scientific approach.
We source, validate and maintain diverse datasets, both traditional and alternative, to enable our research, forecasting and portfolio management.
We build portfolios that translate research forecasts into investment solutions, balancing expected return, risk and trading costs within defined constraints.
We research and execute trading and cash management strategies that efficiently express portfolio decisions in real-world market outcomes.
We engineer a technology-driven investment platform that supports data research, forecasting, portfolio construction and live systematic investing.
We turn investment insights into systematic, robust and scalable processes that translate into actionable trades and live portfolios.
An integrated approach
Our investment process is designed as a connected system, with each team contributing expertise across the investment lifecycle. This integrated approach strengthens our work and distinguishes us from more siloed investment models.
Empirical research drives continuous enhancements to our investment process, with execution supported by a robust, systematic platform that ensures consistency and rigour.
The result is a coordinated, scalable and consistent approach where team members have the opportunity to impact client portfolios.
