Survey of Quants Reveals a Continued Lack of Understanding of the Role of Quants at the Managerial Level

- 86.3% of quants feel their supervisors do not have a better understanding of the job of a quant than they did a year ago

- Survey indicates that instead of talk about a 'recovery,' more focus should be placed on 'have we learnt our lessons'

A series of startling results from a survey of almost 400 active quants and risk professionals has been released today, revealing a significant gap in understanding between quants and their supervisors.
