Quantitative management
Quantitative management is a management approach based on a quantitative process of selecting factors and securities according to market cycles.
This approach is essentially based on databases.
This method can be illustrated by a robot that has recorded thousands of financial data points on companies' pasts, the evolution of their revenue, their structure, etc., and which would be able, in light of this historical memory, to indicate which securities to invest in or not.
This highly automated method relies on mathematical models and financial ratios to target the most relevant securities in a sector, according to defined criteria.
Interest of the method: The quantitative method optimizes the use of technology and allows for a more objective analysis. In return, it does not allow benefiting from the manager's "instinct."
