Systematic Alpha
Northeastern’s quantitative finance club
Northeastern Systematic Alpha (NUSA) is a research-based quantitative finance club that uses alternative data to develop systematic equity trading strategies.
Members work in teams to brainstorm ideas, source data, and test potential equity factors. Teams may compete their ideas in case competitions; a NUSA team of five won first place in the 2023 Southeastern Hedge Fund Competition for their active investment strategy pitch “Clicks for Cash.”
During the first few weeks of each semester, NUSA holds open workshops to introduce students to factor investing and the biases that can arise, and to allow interested students to see if they would like to join a NUSA team and participate further.
I enjoy the opportunity to meet and connect with other students who are passionate about quantitative finance. It is also a great place to learn by collaborating with others and getting hands-on experience building factor models with real data
