Quant Insight Raises Series A Investment for Global Expansion of Macro Factor Analytics Technology

Quant Insight Secures Series A Investment for Expansion

On July 16, 2025, Quant Insight, an innovative company specializing in macro factor analytics for institutional investors, announced a significant milestone—the completion of its Series A funding round led by 7RIDGE’s Ecosystem Impact Fund. This investment is set to propel Quant Insight’s mission of enhancing global investment strategies by providing advanced macro risk models and analytics.

Addressing Macro Risk Challenges

The investment will be instrumental in addressing a pressing gap in portfolio management: the challenge of quantifying macro exposures that significantly influence over 50% of equity returns, especially during periods of market stress. While traditional risk models primarily revolve around equity style factors, Quant Insight’s platform focuses on macro factors that tend to drive returns amidst market volatility—a critical component that many investors overlook.

CEO Mahmood Noorani emphasized the importance of this macro analysis, stating, “Macro factors increasingly challenge equity investors' ability to generate alpha, yet they remain hard to quantify. Our platform provides this essential insight, offering quantifiable macro factor intelligence that complements traditional style factor models.” This expansion not only enhances Quant Insight’s capabilities but also positions it as a leader in the realm of macro intelligence for contemporary investment management.

A Strategic Partnership

The partnership with 7RIDGE brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, particularly in scaling enterprise-facing technologies related to trading, capital markets, and investment management. With a notable portfolio that includes Digital Asset Holdings and Trading Technologies, 7RIDGE is set to bolster Quant Insight’s service offerings. Carsten Kengeter, CEO of 7RIDGE, commented on the significance of this partnership, saying, “Quant Insight represents exactly the type of transformative technology that enhances the global financial system's robustness and efficiency.” He highlighted the need for rigorous quantitative methodologies in macro risk analytics, affirming their commitment to advancing Quant Insight’s platform globally.

Proven Technology Solutions

Quant Insight offers a sophisticated platform that includes three primary solutions designed to address the intricacies of macroeconomic factors:
1. Macro Factor Equity Risk Model (MFERM): This tool dissects portfolio returns into understandable macro components, providing crucial insights into macro exposure.
2. Cross-Asset Valuation Engine: This engine identifies macroeconomic dislocations and assesses fair value gaps across various asset classes, facilitating more informed investment decisions.
3. Asset Management Solutions: Includes the construction of active ETFs and risk hedging products, which enhances liquidity and protects against market downturns.

The technological framework covers over 13,000 global assets and features API integration alongside partnerships with leading risk platforms. This robust infrastructure positions the company well for further innovation.

Growth and Innovation Ahead

The funding acquired from the Series A round will significantly influence Quant Insight’s trajectory. It will enable the company to scale its operations, incorporate machine learning advancements into its platform, and explore new applications for its macro intelligence technology. The overarching aim is to enhance its current offerings, making it an indispensable tool for asset managers navigating the complexities of modern financial markets.
