Decode the Market. Build the Future. Capture the Alpha.
From Quant Strats to Future Alpha: The Next Chapter in Alpha Innovation!
What began seven years ago as Quant Strats evolved into Future Alpha 2026 - a bold reinvention for a new era in systematic investing. Over the years, we’ve brought together elite quant funds, asset managers, and global investment banks to explore the science of alpha generation.
AlphaX – Alpha Strategies, Alternative Data & Signal Intelligence
This structure brings together the entire trading ecosystem, from quants and PMs to data scientists, tech engineers, and market risk managers.
What hasn’t changed? Our commitment to deep technical content, cutting-edge insights, and zero fluff.
This isn’t just a rebrand. It’s a movement.
We’re expanding to meet the moment: building the definitive platform for alpha innovation across a global community of 50,000+.
