Qube Research & Technologies (QRT) is a British quantitative investment management firm headquartered in London. The business originated inside Credit Suisse’s Quantitative and Systematic Asset Management unit in 2016 and became independent in 2018 after a management buyout.[4] As of January 2026, it managed about US$38 billion[5] and employed approximately 1,400 people.
Background
In late 2016, the Qube Fund was formed and managed by Credit Suisse's Quantitative and Systematic Asset Management unit in London. The fund used computer models to trade stocks and was staffed by proprietary traders. In 2017, it was announced that the fund would be spun off from Credit Suisse due to regulations like the Volcker Rule which restricted banks from performing proprietary trading activities. At the start of 2018, its management team led a management buyout resulting in the unit to become an independent entity and was renamed to Qube Research & Technologies.[3][6]
