Quant

Quant refers to quantitative analysis, which involves using mathematical and statistical models to analyze and predict financial and investment data. It is used by financial institutions, traders, and investors to make informed decisions about buying and selling securities. Quantitative analysis is seen as more objective and reliable than other forms of analysis, such as fundamental or technical analysis, as it uses empirical data to develop models. The use of quant has grown in popularity due to the increasing availability of data and the development of computational tools and techniques.
