AI and Deep Learning: Enhancing Alpha Generation in Quantitative Investing

Recently, Emmanuel Hauptmann, our CIO & Head of Systematic, took part in the Swiss Quantitative Investors Summit, organised by BNP Paribas, alongside Georges Debbas, Head of Equity & Derivatives Strategy Europe, and Vincent Berthelemy, Head of QIS & Asset Allocation Strategy.

The panel, titled ‘Copernicus or Galileo: The Renaissance of Equity Factors or an Alpha Revolution,’ explored whether quantitative investing is experiencing a revival of established factor approaches or entering a revolutionary era driven by AI and new technologies.

Emmanuel illustrated how AI and Deep Learning can enhance the investment process and alpha prediction, drawing on the RAM European Market Neutral Equity Strategy.

This exchange shed light on the future of quantitative strategies and the innovations shaping alpha generation.
