I chat with Linda, the lead scientist from GAM Systematic CANTAB, and recently named as one of the top 50 women in the hedge fund industry. We have a fascinating conversation about the difference between quant and systematic approaches, and the vast uncertainty of financial markets. We talk about the usefulness of machine learning models and the critical role that investment horizon plays.
