While discretionary traders are like artists, quants tend to run a complex production process, and therefore need an industrial-strength infrastructure without which they cannot maintain the necessary degree of systematic discipline. Unfortunately, being a start-up does not exempt one from this rule. But fortunately, one does not really need to build the whole factory from the ground up. Using the SmartQuant algo trading infrastructure allows the emerging managers to focus on their primary objective, which is the development of investment strategies, while benefiting from a reliable framework to implement and deploy them in the market.

Sure, we still spend a lot of time experimenting, trying and testing different strategies. Having a good development environment does not necessarily allow you to skip that step. The real advantage of a well designed framework is in cutting the time between testing and production to a minimum, and in the scalable nature of the infrastructure, which can grow with the firm from managing a small seed capital to truly institutional levels. With a system like this, emerging managers can feel on a level playing field while trading in the same market as much larger competitors, and can fully realize the inherent advantages of being agile and adaptive.

OpenQuant Introduction

SmartQuant product line includes all the components that are necessary for an end-to-end automated trading infrastructure capable of supporting institutional scale deployment for hedge funds, investment management firms and buy-side and sell-side trading groups. At the same time, it is modular and flexible, allowing individual professional traders or small teams to start with a minimal configuration before proceeding to a full-scale installation.

Our objective is to fill the gap between expensive high-end institutional systems which are typically out of reach for emerging managers, and the lower-end (retail level) systems which do not have the industrial strength necessary for professional investment managers. We can offer a tailored solution to each client comprised of just the right set of products, for each stage of their development, and a seamless path to growth with minimal expenses.
