WorldQuant

WorldQuant is a global quantitative asset management firm founded in 2007 by Igor Tulchinsky. It develops and deploys systematic financial strategies across asset classes and markets worldwide, producing predictive signals - known as alphas - designed to capitalise on market inefficiencies. The firm manages billions of dollars in assets and employs more than 1,100 people across 28 offices around the world.

At the centre of its research effort is a proprietary research platform, used internally to identify, produce and deploy high-quality predictive signals across asset classes and markets. The firm's technical work spans quantitative finance, systematic trading strategies, predictive signal research, data science, statistical modelling and the analysis of market inefficiencies, alongside ongoing development of its financial research platform.

WorldQuant describes its culture as pairing academic sensibility with accountability. Guided by the belief that “talent is global, but opportunity is not” and that there are infinite insights to discover if information is examined the right way, the firm encourages employees to challenge conventional thinking and to pursue continuous improvement. It seeks a deep understanding of financial markets through data, research and technology rather than simply following markets.
