The Leading Event for Quantitative Investment Thought Leaders

After the launch of the new brand last year, it’s fair to say that Quant Strats has firmly planted itself on the map – with our highest proportion of buy-side and sell-side attendees yet, it was amazing to have everyone back together in one room.

In March 2023, we welcomed 249 attendees, 60 speakers and 17 sponsors and exhibitors to the cold and snowy New York City. We saw lots of networking and benchmarking. As well as this, we provided our 17 amazing sponsors a credible platform to position their company in the Quants space in front of like-minded quantitative practitioner and top-profile industry leaders.

Here’s a look at some of the amazing companies that were at Quant Strats US:

AllianceBernstein, AQR Capital, Balyasny Asset Management, Bank of America, Barclays, BlackRock, BNP Paribas, Brevan Howard, Bridgewater Associates, Citadel, Citi Group, Credit Suisse, Fidelity Investments, Goldman Sachs, Invesco, J.
