Quant Research - Equity

Yacine Merouchi

Nationality: British-Algerian

Education: Master in Mathematics and Computer Science (Oxford), MS in Computer Science (Stanford)

  • As a Quantitative Researcher, I am responsible for the entire process of creating alphas, from exploring real-world datasets to creating forecasts and monitoring them in production. This requires creativity and collaboration with my incredibly talented peers. The projects we tackle are both challenging and important, and the path forward is rarely clear-cut.
  • Work-life balance here is important. In addition to my work, I lead a fulfilling life as a new father. Marshall Wace offers a six-week paternity leave which has allowed me to spend precious time with my family.

The team fosters a collaborative environment in which sharing with, and learning from, others is enabled and encouraged.
  • There is a strong culture of community and giving back at Marshall Wace, and the company has been really supportive of my voluntary work as a charity trustee. It’s a workplace where every individual’s different interests and passions are valued and respected.

Kenza Lahlali

Nationality: Moroccan

Education: MSc in Machine Learning and Mathematics (Centrale Paris and ENS)

  • While studying, I became fascinated with how finance is linked to our day to day life! This is what drove me to join the Equity Quantitative Research team. I have been working on a wide variety of projects in different aspects of the job, from analysing company reports to working with datasets as well as tackling optimisation problems.
  • What I like about working at Marshall Wace is that the environment is highly conducive to the sharing of ideas. Marshall Wace brings out the best in us since we are constantly challenged by different projects. Our ideas are respected from the start and there is a high group cohesion. This makes it the ideal environment in which to work.

Quant Research - Macro

Mustafa Warsi

Nationality: Indian

Education: BA and MMath in Mathematics (Cambridge)

  • I work in the Systematic Macro team, which involves trading a variety of asset classes. My day involves brainstorming, testing ideas, parsing and analysing data, and ultimately writing code to systematise and productionise all of this.
  • Why do I like Marshall Wace? I get to spend time analysing data to better understand how the world works alongside accomplished and interesting people in a beautiful environment. What’s not to like about this?

Christian Zuend

Nationality: Swiss

Education: MPhil in Economic Research (Cambridge) and PhD in Economics (Zurich)

  • Much of my work investigates how we can use data from new and sometimes unusual sources to predict how company stocks might perform relative to the market. Every day new methods are discovered to turn data into signals and each dataset has its unique challenges and opportunities so there is a lot to explore! Each new project can reveal something interesting and surprising about the global economy and the world!
  • I enjoy working in a fast-paced environment where I can quickly see whether my projects have an impact.
  • During my PhD I worked with a variety of different data but nowhere near as much as since joining Marshall Wace.
