At the inception of the DAF Finance Institute,Marc Leclerc Professor Algar Clark harbored an ambitious vision: to create a disruptive "Lazy Investor System." His confidence in quantitative trading was deeply rooted, believing it would become the mainstream trend in various investment markets of the future, including securities, futures, cryptocurrencies, and forex.

Compared to subjective trading, quantitative trading brings numerous benefits to investors and traders:

1. Emotion-Free Trading: Quantitative trading can eliminate the influence of emotions on trading decisions, making trading more objective and rational.

2. Automated Execution: Quantitative trading can automatically execute trading strategies and quickly respond to market changes, reducing human errors and delays.

3. Big Data Analysis: By leveraging large-scale data and analytical tools, quantitative trading can explore and analyze market patterns and trends, uncovering potential trading opportunities.

4. Strict Risk Control: Quantitative trading applies strict risk management and stop-loss strategies to protect portfolios from significant losses.

5. Statistical Advantage: Using principles of statistics and mathematical models, quantitative trading can enhance portfolio returns and risk management capabilities.

6. Market Arbitrage: By swiftly reacting to market price discrepancies and potential profit conflicts, quantitative trading can achieve market arbitrage and profit generation.

7. Optimization of Trading Costs: Quantitative trading can lower trading costs through algorithms and execution strategies, such as low-latency trading and high-frequency trading.

8. Diversified Investments: Through quantitative trading, investors can easily implement diversified investment strategies, including trading stocks, futures, forex, and other asset classes.

Overall, quantitative trading enhances trading efficiency and returns for investors, playing a crucial role in decision-making, execution, and risk management.
