What does AI really mean for the future of quant investing?

In this episode, Vincent sits down with Jeff Shen, PhD, Co-CIO and Co-Head of Systematic Active Equities at BlackRock, to explore how the world’s largest asset manager is scaling systematic investing through big data, machine learning, and a deep, research-driven culture.

From integrating large language models into real-world investment workflows to building cross-disciplinary teams that blend engineering, finance, and academic rigor, Jeff shares candid insights on what’s working, what’s evolving, and what remains fundamentally unchanged.
