AlphaQuest
Overview
AlphaQuest is a research-driven alternative asset management firm headquartered in New York City, focused on delivering uncorrelated investment strategies. Founded in 2001 by Chief Investment Officer Nigol Koulajian, the firm manages assets on behalf of some of the world’s largest institutional investors. The firm employs a quantitative trading process across over 60 liquid global markets, including commodities, currencies, equity indices, and fixed income. The firm's flagship strategy, AlphaQuest Original (AQO), is a short-term momentum strategy with trades lasting an average of eight days. AQO seeks to provide investors with strong absolute returns and valuable hedging characteristics, particularly during periods of volatility expansion and market corrections. The strategy trades across global markets in equities, fixed income, currencies, and commodities, focusing on forecasting and reacting to tail-risk events. In January 2025, Quest Partners LLC rebranded to AlphaQuest to reflect the firm's alpha-driven approach to investing. The rebranding aligns the firm's name with that of its flagship investment strategy, AlphaQuest Original, and incorporates equities, global macro, and other asset classes to target incremental tail risk arbitrage and portfolio protection strategies.
