Quant investing is often described in terms that can feel cold or inaccessible: algorithms, models, datasets. But at Robeco, it is not a black box. Behind the mathematics lies a very human discipline. Our quant strategies are shaped not only by algorithms but also by the people who build them – those who continuously test ideas, evaluate outcomes, challenge assumptions, and interpret shifting market dynamics.
