Quant Strats USA 2025, held on March 11 at Quorum by Convene in New York, brought together over 380 professionals in quantitative finance, with 70% of attendees representing the Buy-Side, including hedge funds, asset managers, and investment banks. The event reaffirmed its role as a premier forum for exploring advancements in artificial intelligence (“AI”), machine learning (“ML”), and large language models (“LLMs”) within finance, offering attendees unparalleled access to industry-leading insights and networking opportunities.
The conference featured over 50 expert speakers who examined how AI and ML are no longer just theoretical innovations but essential tools shaping investment strategies, risk management, and trade execution. AI & ML in Asset Management addressed how firms are integrating advanced algorithms into portfolio construction, risk assessment, and trade execution to drive efficiency and improve returns. The Future of Large Language Models (“LLMs”) in Quant Finance explored how LLMs are being leveraged for predictive modeling, sentiment analysis, and automating complex financial decision-making. The discussion underscored the increasing reliance on AI-driven insights to navigate evolving market conditions and improve performance.
A central theme throughout the event was the growing synergy between quantitative and fundamental investment strategies. Blending Quant & Fundamental Strategies featured leading portfolio managers and quant strategists who discussed the complexities of combining data-driven models with traditional financial analysis, highlighting the benefits and challenges of hybrid approaches. Meanwhile, Alternative Data & Alpha Generation explored how non-traditional data sources, ranging from satellite imagery to consumer transaction data, are unlocking new opportunities for alpha generation, providing firms with an edge in systematic trading.
With the rapid evolution of electronic trading, High-Frequency Trading & Execution Algorithms took a deep dive into the latest advancements in trade execution, latency reduction, and market-making strategies. The session provided a comprehensive look at how firms are optimizing execution in an increasingly automated environment. Meanwhile, Risk Management in a Volatile Market tackled the challenges of adapting quant strategies to turbulent market conditions, emphasizing the importance of robust risk frameworks in mitigating potential losses and ensuring long-term portfolio stability.
Beyond the content-rich sessions, Quant Strats USA 2025 offered extensive networking opportunities, allowing attendees to connect with top-tier data scientists, quantitative analysts, institutional investors, and technology providers.
