Thank you to Lars Tyge Nielsen and Columbia University’s Mathematics of Finance MA (MAFN) program for hosting this conversation on Quest’s investing approach and research.?Our Founder and CIO Nigol Koulajian was delighted to speak with Samvel P. Gevorkyan and take part in this dynamic seminar.

Nigol Koulajian and Samvel P. Gevorkyan spoke about?algorithmic trading and momentum-based trading strategies in the practitioners' seminar organized by Columbia University’s Mathematics of Finance MA (MAFN) program's Mathematics of Finance (MAFN) program.?The format was a conversation where Samvel interviewed Nigol about his firm, @Quest Partners, and its trading strategies and research, followed by an animated Q&A session.?A central focus of Quest's approach to investing is mitigating drawdowns. To manage?drawdown risk or tail risk, they aim to develop and deploy positively skewed trading strategies, including positively skewed trend-following strategies. Skew is a measure of the asymmetry of a return distribution?–?the larger the left tail, the more negative the skew.?Most hedge fund trading strategies have a negatively skewed return profile, and such strategies have a tendency to deliver positive returns but also large drawdowns. Indeed, Quest’s research?finds that normalized drawdown (drawdown divided by volatility) is related to Sharpe ratio – strategies with larger Sharpe ratio tend to experience larger normalized drawdowns. Presumably, this happens because such strategies tend to achieve their high Sharpe ratio by taking on tail risk or negative skew.?Nigol Koulajian is the Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Quest. The firm, based in New York, manages $2.4 billion in assets and employs over forty people as of March 2024. Samvel P. Gevorkyan is a quantitative researcher at Freepoint Commodities. ?
