AI and machine learning are transforming trading by uncovering hidden market patterns, optimising strategies, and managing risk with unprecedented speed and precision.
In this episode, Petra Bakosova shares how these cutting-edge technologies are reshaping ETFs, market timing, and the future of asset management.
Questions we discuss:
- AI is transforming industries everywhere, including finance. How do you see AI shaping the future of trading and investment management?
- What are some of the most exciting AI-driven tools or strategies emerging for traders right now? How can they help improve performance?
- Your research has focused heavily on ETFs. What makes ETFs such a powerful vehicle for
investors, and how has your work in this space evolved? - For those unfamiliar, what exactly is a quant, and how can the insights from quant research help traders make better decisions?
- Can you share an example of how your research has directly influenced a trading or investment strategy?
- With so much data available, what key metrics or signals should traders focus on to improve their decision-making?
- You once said, “I’ve never seen a bad backtest.” Can you explain what you mean by that and why traders need to be cautious when relying on backtesting results?
- Maximum drawdown is a critical but often misunderstood metric. What are some practical ways traders can manage and minimise their drawdowns?
- Many traders dream of building the perfect model to predict market returns. Why is that
impossible, and what are the biggest pitfalls, like overfitting, that traders should watch out for? - What does a typical day in your role as CEO of Hull Tactical look like, and how do you stay ahead in such a fast-moving field?
