Developments in Quantitative Investment Models

The field of quantitative investing has changed significantly since 1994, when the last CFA Institute proceedings on the subject was published. Recent developments in the areas of nonlinearities, nonstationarities, and non-normal return distributions have the potential to allow investors to exploit inefficiencies that were previously imperceptible. In this proceedings, the authors survey the state of the art in quantitative investing and describe how they and others are using new methods and insights to enhance performance.
