Redefining Finance through Quantitative Innovation

With the world of quantitative finance evolving at a breakneck speed, the question is no longer if firms should integrate it into their systems — but how to lead with it. Quant Strats 2025 is Europe’s industry leading event united over 600+ quants, portfolio managers, data scientists, academics, regulators, and more to explore the full spectrum of quantitative strategies. Across two informative and interactive days filled with thought-provoking sessions and expert masterclasses, attendees deep dived into cutting-edge modelling techniques, the intersection of AI and quant, and the innovations that drove alpha in today’s markets.

As the event concluded, we announced the next chapter in our journey — our evolution from Quant Strats to Future Alpha.

What began seven years ago as Quant Strats has grown into Future Alpha 2026: a bold reinvention for a new era in cross-asset investing. Over the years, we’ve united elite quant funds, asset managers, and global investment banks to explore the science of alpha generation — and now, Future Alpha will carry that legacy forward with a broader, more forward-looking vision.

A Word From Our Attendees

Many new and exciting innovations are being leveraged in quantitative investing and portfolio management. Quant Strats provides a fantastic opportunity to learn about them from world-class speakers.

Thanks for the great event. The organization made my participation very easy. I also really enjoyed the practical and useful sessions as opposed to marketing at some other conferences. I also really appreciated networking with new and old contacts.

I always learn something useful when attending Quant Strat events, be it the latest investment trends, or interesting new data sources that can be applied in the portfolio investment process.

This conference usefully brings together participants from across the value chain of quant investment. You could hear the buzz in the room at the roundtables, the vitality of the subject matter and the keen engagement of all the delegates.

I really enjoyed the conference, the organisation, the venue and the networking opportunities.

This year’s Quant Strats conference was a very professionally ran event, with sessions well attended where participants were heavily engaged in dialogue and interest in the topics discussed. I can only recommend participation in the Quant Strats event for people interested in investing in various asset classes and utilising the huge potential of new and emerging technologies.

The conference was a good opportunity to get together with like-minded people from the Quant space to exchange about latest ideas and trends. The conference had a special focus on IT and data infrastructure and systems that made the setting different from other quant conferences that usually focus more on investment strategies and opportunities in the market.

The type of audience Quant Strats attracts, it’s a good sort of environment for practitioners to brainstorm ideas, understand what’s happening in one fund versus others, and kind of see where the direction is going. So that’s perfectly brilliant for practitioners, academics and vendors like us.

The Quant Strats conference has a number of beneficial features: good technical presentations, useful roundtables and a wide range of topics – from traditional to vanguard, and from abstract to pragmatic. It’s a day very well spent.

Quant Strats is a great event for quants to connect, share ideas and keep up with the latest trends in markets and technology.

Quant Strats brings together a diverse group of professionals engaged in all aspects of quantitative asset management. The breadth of perspectives and high-quality conversations make it a conference I always look forward to attending.

Quant Strats 2024 was an exceptional event, bringing together top-tier industry leaders, cutting-edge topics, and outstanding organization. Whether you're looking to stay up-to-date on the latest trends in quantitative finance, learn from the best in the field, or simply network with like-minded professionals, this conference offers a wealth of opportunities. The breadth of topics—from AI and machine learning to risk management and digital assets—ensured there was something for everyone, while the interactive sessions and roundtable discussions fostered meaningful dialogue and idea exchange.
