Quant biography, Quant discography
Merton, a pioneer of quantitative analysis, introduced stochastic calculus into the study of finance.Similar work is done in most other modern industries, but the work is not called quantitative analysis.In the investment industry, people who perform quantitative analysis are frequently called quants."There are two types of quantitative analysis and, therefore, two types of quants.One type works primarily with mathematical models and the other primarily with statistical models.An investment manager would implement this analysis by buying the convertible bond and selling the stock short.Wilmott is the author of many books on quantitative analysis and grants a Certificate in Quantitative Finance to anyone willing to pay a fee and pass certain tests.An investment manager might implement this analysis by buying the underpriced stocks, selling the overpriced stocks or both.CFA certification, stresses the statistical approach to quantitative analysis in its certification program.The CFA's book Quantitative Investment Analysis, which makes no mention of numerical analysis, describes techniques such as hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and time series analysis.Although the original "quants" were concerned with risk management and derivatives pricing, the meaning of the term has expanded over time to include those individuals involved in almost any application of mathematics in finance.An example is statistical arbitrage.Education
Quants often come from physics, engineering or mathematics backgrounds rather than finance related fields, and quants are a major source of employment for people with physics, mathematics, and engineering Ph.Typically a quant will also need extensive skills in computer programming.In particular, Masters degrees in financial engineering and financial analysis are becoming more popular with students and with employers.History
Quantitative finance started in the U."Portfolio Selection" was one of the first papers to formally adapt mathematical concepts to finance.Markowitz formalized a notion of mean return and covariances for common stocks which allowed him to quantify the concept of "diversification" in a market.Although the language of finance now involves Ito calculus, minimization of risk in a quantifiable manner underlies much of the modern theory.Merton was motivated by the desire to understand how prices are set in financial markets, which is the classical economics question of "equilibrium," and in later papers he used the machinery of stochastic calculus to begin investigation of this issue.See also
