Asif Noor – Modern Systematic Macro (S6E9)
Description
In this episode I speak with Asif Noor, Portfolio Manager at Aspect Capital where he oversees the firm’s Multi-Strategy Program.
Asif has spent the last 25 years of his career developing systematic macro strategies, giving him a depth and breadth of experience to understand what it takes to remain competitive in the space.
While a handful of low frequency signals may have been sufficient a few decades ago, today Aspect’s Multi-Strategy Program incorporates hundreds of alpha forecasts ranging from intraday to several months. But this evolution also brings new challenges, which we discuss at length in this episode. For example, how are new alphas introduced and old alphas sunset? How do you unify alphas of different magnitudes and convictions? Or, how do you manage risk across so many signals?
This conversation is chalk full of the practical, real world experiences of running a multi-strategy program.
Please enjoy my conversation with Asif Noor.
