2012 May 30 Jeremy Evnine “Accidental Quant”.
I became a “quant” in September of 1980, purely by accident. This led me to a 30-year career in quantitative asset management, from the days when “high frequency” meant daily data and all screens were green, to the days when time is measured in milliseconds and many institutional investors are left wondering what to do in the wake of the worst financial crisis in three generations.
In this talk, I will reflect on some of the lessons I have learned in my career as a quant, and try to draw some useful conclusions from them. Some of these lessons are idiosyncratic to quantitative investing and risk management, while others are more general lessons about being in the asset management business…indeed, about being in business at all.
