Active Quant unboxed: Inside the engine of quantitative investing
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.
Summary
This year, as part of our focus on one such strategy – Active Quant – we launched a dedicated podcast series called ‘A random talk down Quant Street’. In this new article, we continue that focus with a closer look at how our Active Quant investing engine works: from the first research idea to the construction of real-world portfolios, and from patterns in markets to the rigorous testing that underpins them.
