🏆 Announcing the winner of the Amaltash x Columbia Quant Challenge: Dominic Lo! 164 strategies submitted. 1000+ backtests run. 52 Columbia students in the arena. One leaderboard. Dominic, a CS major at Columbia GS, didn’t just win — he took two of the top three spots. His winning strategy posted numbers that would make most quant funds look twice: • Score: 127.02 • Max Drawdown: 6.08% • 5-year Return: 155.57% • CAGR: 20.64% • Trades/yr: 63 What stands out isn’t the return. It’s the 6.08% drawdown alongside a 20.64% CAGR. Clean equity curves are rare. This one is institutional-grade. This is exactly why we built Amaltash — to collapse the distance between an idea and a backtested strategy from weeks to minutes. When students get the right tools, they ship work that competes with professionals. Next challenge drops soon. Stay tuned. #QuantFinance #Columbia #AlgorithmicTrading #Amaltash
