Quant Essentials Slide Decks
To be a competitive applicant, we expect a strong foundation in the concepts covered in these decks. They’re designed to be more than surface-level review—focus on how the topics connect and how they show up in real strategies. Furthermore, Python proficiency is a key differentiator, as our projects rely on programmatic model development, prior coding experience is strongly preferred.
