The 2017 Trading Tech 40: Anton Katz and Stephen Mock

对AQR资本管理公司的高性能交易系统的设计和升级至关重要的是安东·卡茨（Anton Katz）和斯蒂芬·莫克（Stephen Mock）的合作。分别是交易系统技术负责人和企业架构负责人，他们向首席技术官Neal Pawar报告。他们的团队合作体现了AQR文化的开放性和包容性，正如Katz所说，AQR文化避免了组织孤立，重视各级人员的想法和贡献，并认为信息技术“与企业平等，莫克说：“技术是我们所做一切的基础。灵活性和创新能力是关键。我们希望能够利用任何机会，“我们的工作的一部分是接触并参与更广泛的IT社区——金融科技实验室、孵化器、供应商公司和学术界。”仅仅关注我们的四堵墙是不够的，”莫克说，卡茨补充道，“如果你不注意（技术进步），你就会被落在后面。”亚慱体育app怎么下载

The duo and Pawar all bring to bear outside influences. Pawar came aboard three years ago after stints with D.E. Shaw & Co. and UBS Wealth Management. Mock, 37, brought low-latency trading expertise from Macquarie Capital, in 2012. Back then, he says, AQR's engineering efforts were focused on a diverse set of growing businesses and strategies, and thus somewhat siloed. Today he describes those efforts as "focused on a broader platform and less bespoke" in supporting a firm that has $175.2 billion in both traditional and alternative assets under management. Katz, 36, who joined Greenwich, Connecticut–based AQR in 2015 after six years on the vendor side, with Broadway Technology, says a current priority is mobilizing and optimizing the "tons of data" that the highly quantitative firm generates. "Innovation in technology is not a step function — it is a matter of constant iteration and experimentation," he explains. "It has everything to do with how we as a company execute strategy and achieve competitive advantage."
