Quantitative Financial Strategies

Quantitative Financial Strategies (QFS) was a prominent alternative investment management firm that specialized in quantitative global macro and currency trading strategies. Founded in 1988 by the renowned economist Sanford J. Grossman, the firm utilized sophisticated mathematical models and economic theory to manage capital for institutional investors. Headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut, QFS was a pioneer in the systematic application of data analysis to financial markets. The firm was known for its rigorous research-driven approach, which shares methodological parallels with quantitative fields in the life sciences. QFS decided to wind down its major investment funds and return capital to investors in 2014 following a period of challenging market conditions.
