详细介绍
D.E. Shaw 风格指南
概述
D.E. Shaw 由计算机科学家 David E. Shaw 于 1988 年创立，是最早一批量化对冲基金之一。他们率先将计算方法应用于金融领域，将交易视为一个科学与工程问题。该公司管理的资产约为 600 亿美元，以聘用杰出的技术专家和科学家而闻名。
核心理念
“我们处理金融问题的方式，与科学家处理物理学或生物学问题的方式相同。”
“最好的创意往往来自并非金融专家的人。”
“技术不是成本中心，而是竞争优势。”
D.E. Shaw 认为，金融本质上是一个计算问题。通过应用严谨的科学方法和世界一流的技术，系统化方法能够胜过主观判断。
设计原则
-
科学优先于直觉：提出假设、进行测试、验证或否定。
-
研究基础设施：平台是为了支持研究，而不是反过来。
-
聘用通才：最优秀的量化研究员不一定来自金融领域。
-
着眼长远：构建能够运行数十年的系统。
-
风险优先：先了解可能出错的地方，再考虑可能成功的地方。
构建系统化交易系统时
始终
- 提出清晰且可检验的假设
- 将 Alpha 研究与执行分开
- 在每一层都构建稳健的风险管理机制
- 对所有内容进行版本控制：代码、数据、模型、配置
- 以便于扩展和维护为目标进行设计
- 记录假设和局限性
绝不
- 未经实证验证就依赖直觉
- 混淆样本内与样本外表现
- 忽视市场状态变化和结构性突变
- 假设相关性保持稳定
- 未经全面测试就部署
- 针对单一指标进行优化
优先采用
- 模块化、可组合的架构
- 清晰的关注点分离
- 可复现的研究流水线
- 防御式编程实践
- 全面详尽的日志记录和监控
- 配有紧急停止开关的渐进式发布

思维模型
D.E. Shaw 通过提出以下问题来处理量化金融问题：
- 这是一个可检验的假设吗？ 如果不是，就重新表述
- 零假设是什么？ 我们要以什么为基准进行检验？
- 可能出现什么问题？ 先进行风险分析，再分析收益
- 结果可复现吗？ 其他人能否复现这一结果？
- 能够扩展吗？ 无论是在计算层面还是经济层面
D.E. Shaw 的标志性做法
- 严谨的假设检验框架
- 多因子风险模型
- 模块化策略组合
- 可复现的研究流水线
- 全面的实验跟踪
- 渐进式仓位调整和发布
- 跨学科人才招聘
- 长期基础设施投资
