TESTIMONIALS
“ZQF is the only framework I could find on the market that could help my team get up to speed right away thanks to its library of products and models, be very productive in our work and also provide us with the option of easily moving our work to a production level. This was key in our decision, as was the availability of the source code.”
“Their products are just smart: they provide unmatched calibration and speed, including senior tranches. To me this can only be achieved by a team that excels in both IT and quant”
