About Us

The mission of DQT is to create a pre-professional community of students interested in pursuing a career in quantitative finance, algorithmic trading, and derivatives research. This organization aims not only to increase the momentum of quantitative finance at Duke but also aims to act as a resource for students interested in this career path. We hope to provide Duke students the opportunity to compete in trading competitions, network with prominent quant trading firms, and connect with the broader quantitative finance community. The organization will hold resume-building events, social bonding activities, and speaker series. For analyst positions, we will also provide weekly lectures in a training program, ranging from statistics, programming, asset classes, and trading strategies.
