Episode 139 of Top Traders Unplugged
"Today, we are joined by Simon Judes, Co-CIO at Winton for a conversation on how they use quantitative investment strategies and statistical research to generate alpha. We discuss how the characterisation of Crisis Alpha has the potential to be misleading and why the speed of your trading should be determined by your objective, their process of discovering new ideas through research and the pitfalls of relying too heavily on automation. We also discuss how they stay diversified through alternative market selection, why it is important to look beyond volatility when assessing risk and much more.”
Quantitative investment strategies and statistical research has long been used as a method to generate alpha. However, the characterisation of Crisis Alpha has the potential to be misleading and the speed of trading should be determined by specific objectives.
Simon Judes, Co-CIO at Winton, discusses in the podcast linked below, their processes of discovering new ideas through research and the pitfalls of relying too heavily on automation. He also discusses how they stay diversified through alternative market selection, why it is important to look beyond volatility when assessing risk and much more.
