AQR Breakfast

Demystifying Systematic Investing


We welcome you to join us at our next Desayuno AQR in Madrid!

During this breakfast, we will demystify systematic investing strategies and share the latest updates from AQR. We will begin by showing the similarities between (quant) investing and sports, followed by a closer look at AQR’s stock selection model — to show that quantitative investing can be a crystal box. We will conclude with an update on our firm and our strategies. Registration and full agenda are available at the link below.

Please, note that the event will not be recorded and there is limited capacity.
