Who it is for

  • State a mandate that survives contact with a drawdown
  • Set a risk policy before you need one
  • Read research without being sold to
  • Cost your strategy honestly, including the parts nobody quotes

Quant Foundations FAQ

Before you enrol.

Seven documents: mandate, risk policy, allocation framework, evidence log, cost model, rebalancing protocol, and the charter that binds them. Together they answer what you buy, why, at what risk, and what would make you stop.
