Quant Case Studies: Infrastructure Strategies Delivering Alpha in Traditional Finance and Digital Assets
An exclusive educational session for hedge fund managers, quants, COOs, and compliance professionals
In an environment where Asia-Pacific cloud computing spend is projected to more than double by 2030 (CAGR 16.6%) and Hong Kong’s asset and wealth management AUM grew 13% to HKD 35,142 billion in 2024, infrastructure decisions are now direct drivers of alpha, speed-to-market, and regulatory resilience.
Leading quantitative asset managers are navigating the shift to cloud-native and hybrid setups, 24/7 trading cycles, cross-region low-latency connectivity, and SFC virtual-asset (VA) compliance requirements—all while protecting performance and controlling costs.
Join us for two anonymised, real-world Quant Case Studies that cut through the hype:
Case Study 1 – Traditional Quant Strategies
How a multi-market quant fund migrated from on-premise to AWS while preserving deterministic low-latency access across Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, and beyond. Explore UAT/DR acceleration, cloud migration pitfalls, and measurable gains in time-to-market and operational flexibility.
Case Study 2 – Digital Assets & 24/7 Trading
How the same (or similar) firm integrated crypto exchange connectivity with traditional finance rails, addressed SFC EDSP and cloud outsourcing rules, and built resilient 24/7 pipelines for on-chain and off-chain flows—without compromising latency or compliance.
