Last week we had the pleasure of participating in Morgan Stanley’s third annual FinTech Summit.

Earlier this month, Elsen had the pleasure of being invited to participate in the AIR Summit in New York City, and it was one of the best and most productive FinTech events we’ve ever experienced. The AIR Summit – short for “Alpha Innovation Required” – brings together pioneering startups and proven leaders in the investment world for two days of meaningful connections and conversations. The event was formed in 2014 to facilitate discussions around trends and challenges facing the institutional investment management industry – particularly active investors.

Wall Street is obsessed with the increasing role that computer programmers are playing in securities trading. And for good reason, there’s no question that data-driven strategies will consume the investment industry in the years to come. Data will be the backbone of differentiated strategies that drive success.

Elsen CEO Zac Sheffer has authored a guest blog post for Thomson Reuters on the rise of quantamental investing.

The automatic teller machine was the pinnacle of innovation in banking and financial services back in the 70s and 80s. When you consider how far we’ve come, that seems like a distant memory. But even a decade ago, it was hard for people to imagine that we could check balances, pay bills, transfer money and even deposit checks with tiny phones that everyone carries everywhere. Technology has certainly propelled the financial services industry a long way in a short period of time – but that’s only half the story.

Investors keep pouring money into quant funds, which hit a record $500 billion in assets last year, and this shift shows no signs of slowing down. Over the past seven years, quant funds attracted 29 percent of total inflows despite only accounting for 17 percent of hedge fund assets under management.

Elsen is kicking off the summer and heading into the holiday weekend on a high note – with an award for best tech innovation of the year!

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is one of the most talked about concepts in the tech world today. From retail, to energy, to finance and beyond, AI is finding application in just about every industry. Recently, hedge funds and asset managers have started seriously investigating the AI craze and experimenting with the technology. The early results have been very interesting to see.

For decades, asset managers and their analysts/PMs tended to sort themselves into one of two camps – fundamental and quantitative. Over the last few years, however, a new type of analytical approach to evaluating securities and other financial assets has gained traction. It’s known as the “quantamental” approach, and it’s already redefining how hedge funds and other asset managers manage their portfolios.
