What does a quantum physicist & inventor bring to quant trading? He thinks differently and is purposefully anti-alpha - instead focusing on risk management. After years of trying conventional risk models, Samir’s conclusion was not that risk is impossible to model. It was that most people are solving the wrong problem. They try to predict exact future risk levels. His approach shifted to classifying market states instead: when risk is low, be exposed; when risk is high, reduce or eliminate exposure.


That is a profound change in mindset.

Prediction asks for precision.

Classification asks for usefulness.

And in markets, usefulness usually wins.
