From insight to alpha: How top quants are integrating AI in 2026

From insight to alpha: How top quants are integrating AI in 2026

Our Capital Markets Data Report 2026 explored the growing gap between firms experimenting with AI and those engineering the data and infrastructure needed to scale it. It showed how alignment between quants, CIOs, and data teams now drives a measurable edge in speed, accuracy, and model performance.

In this asset, we dig deeper into how leading quant teams are reshaping their research workflows, using real-time data, faster iteration loops, and time-aware infrastructure to turn insight into alpha.

What’s inside

  • How high-performing quants compress research cycles and deploy models faster
  • What an AI-ready quant environment actually requires (and why most firms don’t have it)
  • Where quant and CIO priorities collide — and how top firms resolve that tension
  • Examples of AI use cases already improving execution, signal quality, and P&L

A concise guide to how leading quants are scaling AI in live market conditions.
