About Us
Technology
At Quantitative Strategies Group (QSG), our approach to technology is scrappy and resourceful, focused on building efficient solutions that deliver results. We began our business with 30 desktops, creating an early backtesting cloud that enabled us to refine our strategies. Today, we have evolved into a firm with state-of-the-art infrastructure spread across multiple data centers. This infrastructure supports both automatic execution and backtesting, allowing our traders to operate with speed and precision.
Our traders use a variety of methods to build and execute strategies. Some utilize a grey-box approach, where they test strategies and execute trades manually. However, the majority of our traders leverage a proprietary platform we built in-house. This platform allows them to backtest strategies, trade live, and manage portfolios with fully automated trading systems.
We designed this platform to bridge the gap seen at other firms, where technologists work alongside traders to implement ideas. Instead, our platform acts as the technologist, streamlining the process so traders can go from idea to live strategy in as little as a few minutes. This integrated approach has improved risk management by ensuring consistency from testing to production and giving traders the tools they need to monitor every aspect of a strategy throughout its life cycle.
Strategy
At QSG, our primary focus is providing liquidity using statistical arbitrage techniques as the core framework for structuring opportunities. These techniques allow us to capture inefficiencies in the market, ensuring that we can remain competitive across various trading environments. Our strategies are designed to adapt to changing market conditions, allowing us to continuously refine and enhance our models.
The proprietary platform we developed plays a critical role in our strategic approach. By allowing traders to backtest, refine, and implement strategies seamlessly, we are able to reduce the time from idea to execution, improve consistency, and mitigate risk.
Markets
We trade primarily in the U.S. equities markets, where we have deep expertise and experience. However, we also have access to, the flexibility and expertise to trade in global equities and derivatives markets, allowing us to capitalize on opportunities wherever they arise. Our ability to adapt and trade across different asset classes and markets is a key component of our strategy.
We are currently expanding into commodity futures markets and fixed income.
