The Quantitative Analyst Role

Quantitative analysts use their mathematical and statistical expertise to identify profitable investment opportunities and address risks.

Advanced computer skills are also becoming more important for this role as the trading world is moving toward algorithm-based electronic and high-frequency trading. Equally important is for them to have model validation ability to test the efficacy of new and existing quantitative models as well as risk management skills to help companies keep risks at bay and improve their ability to ride out financial crises.
