Squarepoint Capital

Squarepoint Capital is a leading global investment manager employing a rigorous scientific approach to construct a diversified portfolio of systematic and quantitative strategies.

Its core capability lies in developing sophisticated algorithms and models that identify and execute investment opportunities across various asset classes and global markets, primarily based on backtests of historical market data.

The company's origins trace back to 2000 when Olivier Durantel, Grégoire Schneider, Antoine Fillet, and Maxime Fortin founded nQuant within Lehman Brothers Tokyo, focusing on long/short equities. These four partners, all alumni of École Polytechnique, guided the evolution of the business through Lehman Brothers and Barclays before establishing Squarepoint as an independent entity in December 2014. Their insight stemmed from a belief in the power of quantitative methods and technology to drive consistent investment performance.

Squarepoint Capital serves clients seeking high-quality returns through its systematic and diversified investment management. The firm’s vision is to continually develop a world-class quantitative investment platform, fostering an environment that emphasizes global collaboration and empowers its professionals.
