Where the Connecticut-based manager sets itself a part from peers and rivals is with its talent strategy. "Talent is global, opportunity is not," the website states. In this three-stage competition, students and academics from around the world can submit math models predicting market moves for a chance to win a piece of the $400,000 prize pool. Out of those 60,000, 4,000 have received part-time contracts from WorldQuant and have been given access to even more data and tools. For Tulchinsky, born in Soviet-era Belarus, the competition and the BRAIN platform are a chance to see the best work from untraditional places.
