AQR曾在2018到2020年经历量化寒冬，多种核心因子表现不佳，导致资产规模从高峰期的2260亿美 元，一度缩水到2023年的980亿美元。不过，随着策略回暖，AQR的表现明显改善。 Asness开玩笑说："现在最激励我的是，要向那些质疑我们的人复仇。我要证明我们不仅是对的，而且 能做得更好。" 在全球量化基金越来越"信机器"的当下，曾多年以谨慎著称的AQR资本管理公司，如今也选择彻底转向 采用AI和机器学习技术来做交易决策。 6月4日，据媒体报道，这家总部位于美国康涅狄格州、管理资产规模达1360亿美元的对冲基金，已经更 彻底地把决策交给了机器。创始人Cliff Asness表示： "当你把决策权交给机器，其实就是让数据来做决定。" 从人主导到机器主导 长期以来，AQR一直坚持"人主导、规则驱动"的传统量化风格。他们依靠人类研究员设计规则模型，基 于可解释的市场逻辑进行资产配置，这与Two Sigma等"机器主导派"明显不同。 其实早在2018年，AQR就已尝试引入机器学习，但真正大规模应用是在最近。如今，它们不仅在股票 资产之外也使用这套系统，还进一步让机器学习算法动态调整因子权重，甚至直接根据数据发现 ...
