70–90%
of individual traders lose money each year
$50B+
lost annually by retail traders globally
25+ yrs
combined Wall Street experience on our team
Every year 70-90% of individual traders lose money in financial markets. Estimates suggest that globally retail traders collectively lose more than $50 billion annually. This wealth typically flows to institutions and hedge funds, which leverage algorithmic and quantitative trading strategies.
Getting the right education to profit from trading in the financial markets is challenging. Most individuals rely on 'influencers' who amplify market noise or give bad advice. Meanwhile, credible institutions often charge high fees for mostly theoretical knowledge that’s freely available online.
QuantYog was created to counter the wave of misinformation in trading education. Our mission is to bring clarity and deliver practical, battle-tested knowledge that many individuals lack in financial markets.
Our team brings over 25 years of experience from top Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, PIMCO and more, spanning the US, London, and India. Our backgrounds include roles such as Quants, Traders, and Portfolio Managers, and we are IIT Delhi and KGP alumni.
We are pioneering education in Quant Research and Portfolio Management. We offer practical knowledge and tools to help you build effective Quant Trading Strategies. Our platform emphasizes personalization, flexibility, and effectiveness; empowering you to excel as a Quant.
