Active Quant: A guide to Quant Street
Quant investing is often described in terms that can feel cold or inaccessible: algorithms, models, datasets. But at Robeco, it’s not a black box. Behind the math lies a very human discipline. Our quant strategies are shaped not only by algorithms but also by the people who build them – those who continuously test ideas, evaluate outcomes, challenge assumptions, and interpret shifting market dynamics.

This year, as part of our focus on one such strategy – Active Quant – we launched a podcast series called ‘A random talk down Quant Street ’. Our new companion guide to that series gives you the highlights on how the Active Quant engine works: from the first research idea to the construction of real-world portfolios. Whether you’re new to quant or already familiar with factors, algos, alternative data and the like, this guide offers a clear and practical roadmap to one of our most powerful strategies.
Listen to the podcast series for expert conversations on the ideas behind the models.
