Quantitative Analysis

<ul>
<li>Systematic beats discretionary: Data-driven, rule-based macro strategies are outperforming traditional "gut feeling" approaches by using econometric models (ARIMA, GARCH, VAR) to identify regime-dependent opportunities and reduce behavioral biases in decision-making.</li>
<li>Current opportunity: The Q2 2025 environment (twist steepening yield curve + easing US-China trade tensions) systematically favors cyclicals (energy, materials, industrials) over rate-sensitive (utilities, REITs), creating cross-asset relative value trades.</li>
<li>AI-Enhanced evolution: Integrating machine learning with traditional models, alternative data sources (satellite imagery, credit card data) and deep reinforcement learning to capture more complex patterns that human discretionary traders miss.</li>
