View company profile

Trexquant Investment LP embarked on its journey in 2014, founded by Tyger Park, who brought with him a wealth of experience from his tenure at Millennium Partners and its affiliate, WorldQuant, where he served as one of three senior managing directors. The firm was established with a clear vision: to develop and trade statistically based medium-frequency equity strategies. From its inception, Trexquant has been rooted in the principles of traditional quantitative finance. However, what set it apart was its early and steadfast commitment to embracing new and emerging technologies, particularly in the realms of machine learning and data science. This forward-thinking approach has been instrumental in the company's evolution and its ability to stand out in the competitive quantitative finance landscape.

The core of Trexquant's methodology revolves around using rigorous quantitative methods to create market-neutral equity portfolios in global markets. To achieve this, the firm focuses on developing trading signals, or 'Alphas,' derived from a vast and continuously expanding collection of data variables. A proprietary backtesting platform plays a crucial role in refining these signals, ensuring their robustness before they are deployed in live trading. The strategy team then takes these validated Alphas and integrates them as inputs for more complex trading models, known as Strategies. This meticulous process has resulted in an ever-growing and adaptive engine, built from thousands of intricate models and tens of thousands of signals. This sophisticated system is continuously engineered with the objective of outperforming and seeking profit from the market, irrespective of prevailing market conditions. Trexquant's capital is managed across a significant number of cash equity positions, spanning markets in the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia, and Canada. The firm's dedication to research and innovation is further evidenced by its global team, with research offices and a significant number of employees, many of whom possess advanced degrees in science, math, and technology. This commitment to talent and technology has allowed Trexquant to continuously improve its investment and research platform since it began operations.
