Internship – Quantitative Investment Strategies Replication and Learning
Objective
Quantitative Investment Strategies are rules-based and systematically executed indices created by banks and index providers. They harvest well-documented risk premia/factors and trading signals on all financial instruments (stocks, futures, options) e.g. carry, momentum, value, short-term reversal. Over the last 10 years, assets managed under those strategies have grown significantly. The goal of the internship is to study how the growing demand for those indexes are driving instrument performances
.
Scope of the work
The intern will engage in the following activities:
- Replicating and simulating synthetic QIS on stocks and futures using internal datasets.
- Benchmarking replications against open and internal sources.
- Testing for commonalities between strategies and identifying a sparser set of relevant ones.
- Using replicated signals and returns in event studies and as inputs of ML based forecasting models.
Required skills and qualifications
- Pursuing a degree in Finance, Economics, Data Science or a related field;
- Familiarity with econometric analysis and financial markets;
- Experience with Python (and relevant statistical libraries: statsmodels, scikit-learn).
