In our previous webinar, we spoke about three quantitative styles of investing. If you missed it, you can watch a replay here. In this session, we'll speak in depth about the quant strategies of "managed futures" and "market neutral", with directional, mean reversion and factor strategies as subtopics. We'll also explain how to make use of Bloomberg's BQNT platform to create and backtest your own strategies, and discuss the interpretation of analysis.
