Quantitative analysts, or “quants,” are responsible for building models and developing investment strategies using complex mathematical and statistical algorithms and tools. They use their knowledge of mathematics, statistics, and computer science to analyze data and make predictions about financial markets, or to design products and systems based on this analysis. This field has grown rapidly in recent years as the financial industry has become increasingly reliant on data and analytics. Employment of quantitative analysts is projected to grow 11 percent from 2020 to 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations.
