Quant is not a strategy — it’s a production method. And that’s exactly why so many allocators still get it wrong.
In this episode of Resonanz Spotlight: Strategy Notes, Vincent and Saâd break down how to think about quant hedge funds in 2026 — and why traditional due diligence frameworks often fail.
They walk through a practical approach to underwriting different types of quant strategies, from equity stat arb to trend following and alternative risk premia. More importantly, they highlight what actually matters: where returns really come from, what breaks a strategy, and how to identify hidden risks behind the label.
If you’re allocating to quant — or thinking about it — this episode gives you a clear, actionable framework you can apply immediately.
