What is a Quant?

What is a Quant? Quant is a short form for Quantitative or Quantitative Analyst. Corvin Codirla, ex-hedge fund manager and trader comments. PLEASE HELP US BY LIKING THIS VIDEO IF YOU FOUND IT USEFUL. We understand what an analyst is; he analyses something and quantitative is very numerical. So in the investment industry you have someone called the research analyst. This is the person who gets the annual reports from companies and he researches them in his capacity as an analyst and produces a report for clients to indicate whether that company would make a good or bad investment. A Quantitative Analyst will just look at the numbers.

That's my Quant. MY QUANTITATIVE. My math specialist. Look at him.
You notice anything different about him? Look at his face, look at his eyes.
Ill give you a hint, his names YANG.
He won a national math contest in China - he doesn't even speak English... yeah I'm sure of the math.

My experience is that no one really knows anything, even if they research constantly. This is why Hedge funds and huge traders sometimes get blown out quickly when the market goes against them.

Can anyone please tell me the quant funds he mentioned (there are probably 2 funds I couldn't hear well)
He said
Rentech
Winton (David harding)
AHL
ASPECT
Stephens capital
Crabel
And Victor Niederhoffer
There probably 2 funds sounded like "something" burry and mono "something" at 4:40
