2. Why Quotient™?
• Quotient™ provides a revolutionary approach to institutional
quantitative investment management.
• As long-time investment industry professionals, we found existing
solutions to be too restrictive.
• Instead of being more efficient, firms spend too much time working
around limitations and managing non-core support efforts.
• Quotient™ delivers rapid development and seamless production of
sophisticated quantitative investment models using novel Python
tools.
With Quotient™ we have invented a better way to harness technology, unleash creativity and build
