Oliver Keating Profile Picture

Oliver Keating

Individual Investor

I work full time on trading and developing quantitative models. I have a physics background and demand a high level of rigor and evidence that strategies are effective before committing to them.

Investment style

My investment style is scientific and evidence based. As a result, it is not limited to any particular method - only those that have provided a statistically significant result of working.

How I got started

I started out by reading a number of books that hinted to the possibility of using quantitative analysis to achieve alpha. This led me to begin my own research, and once I had done some analysis on backtesting the effects of various factors, I began to develop my own models and traded them with my own money. Since then, I have maintained a policy of continual development and improvement.

Personal Interests

I have a strong interest in fitness and am an active member of a London rowing club. I am also interested in motorcars and aircraft and hold a private pilot's license.
