WorldQuant develops and deploys systematic investment strategies across a variety of asset classes and global markets. The firm seeks to continuously produce high-quality trading signals ("alphas") through its proprietary research platform to employ trading strategies focused on market inefficiencies. It has more than 1,100 employees across 28 global officeswith a significant presence in non-traditional financial and technology hubs, including offices in Moscow, Sofia, Bangkok, Beijing, Mumbai, Hanoi and Seoul.

Igor has also extended this philosophy through WorldQuant University, WorldQuant Ventures, and WorldQuant Foundry, which seek to expand access to education, entrepreneurship, and innovation opportunities globally.
