Systematic trader, author, and former portfolio manager

The Algorithmic Advantage is a podcast about quantitative trading and investing. We're here to expand the toolkit of the quant-trading community and introduce investors to the many advantages of systematic trading. Our goal is to educate and inspire as we embark on a captivating journey into the vast knowledge and experience of leading portfolio managers and other experts in the field!
Robert Carver spent more than a decade running systematic futures strategies at AHL before writing some of the most concrete, practitioner-level guides to building a quantified trading process. His books, Systematic Trading and Advanced Futures Trading Strategies, translate portfolio construction, instrument diversification, cost modelling and risk targeting into rules an individual investor can actually implement. That combination of institutional track record and willingness to show the arithmetic is rare, and it gives The Algorithmic Advantage a guest who can stress-test the hype around systematised strategies rather than just repeat it.

📡 Why now: interest in systematic and trend-following approaches keeps spreading well past institutional desks, a conversation Carver's long-running Investment Idiocy blog and his 2023 book Advanced Futures Trading Strategies have both fed and documented.
