AlphaQuest (f.k.a. Quest Partners)
AlphaQuest (formerly known as Quest Partners) is an alternative asset management firm headquartered in New York City, focused on delivering truly uncorrelated investment strategies. Founded in 2001 by Chief Investment Officer Nigol Koulajian, the firm continues to broaden its application of over 25+ years of experience in measuring and capturing breakouts and breakdowns across global markets, asset classes, factors, investment strategies, and time frames. This includes novel ways to source hidden convexity within futures and FX, individual equities, alternative markets, and other well-established systematic investment strategies. This research evolution has taken place while remaining faithful to one of our founding principles of delivering strong absolute returns that exhibit positive skew (right-tails).
