Quant Insight Secures Series A Investment from 7RIDGE's Ecosystem Impact Fund to Accelerate Global Expansion of its Macro Factor Risk Models and Analytics Platform to Asset Managers.
The investment will accelerate Quant Insight's global expansion, enhance its unique macro factor risk models, and strengthen its position as the leading provider of macro intelligence for modern investment management.
Solving the Hidden Macro Risk ChallengeQuant Insight addresses a critical gap in portfolio management: the inability to quantify macro exposures that drive over 50% of equity returns during market stress. While traditional risk models focus on equity style factors, macro risks drive returns during market volatility.
'Macro factors increasingly challenge equity investors' ability to generate alpha, yet they remain hard to quantify,' said Mahmood Noorani, CEO of Quant Insight. 'Our platform provides this critical missing piece—quantifiable macro factor intelligence that complements traditional style factor models.'
Strategic Partnership for Fintech Excellence7RIDGE brings exceptional domain expertise with a proven track record scaling enterprise-facing technologies for trading, capital markets, and investment management. The firm's portfolio includes Digital Asset Holdings, Trading Technologies, and Raft Technologies.
'Quant Insight represents exactly the type of transformative technology that makes the global financial system more robust and efficient,' said Carsten Kengeter, CEO of 7RIDGE. 'Quant Insight's macro risk analytics fill a genuine market need with rigorous quantitative methodology. We're excited to leverage our capital markets expertise to help scale their platform globally.'
Proven TechnologyQuant Insight's platform provides three core solutions:
Macro Factor Equity Risk Model (MFERM): Decomposes portfolio returns into explainable macro components and provides clarity on macro exposure
Cross-Asset Valuation Engine: Identifies macro dislocations and fair value gaps across asset classes
Asset Management Solutions: Construction of active ETFs and risk hedging products
The technology covers 13,000+ global assets with API integration and partnerships with leading risk platforms.
Growth and Innovation

Millennials, I'm Dying To Know The "Cringe" Millennial Trends That Should Be Buried In The Archives Forever
Everything that's being marketed to us these days feels like a remix of the past, from reboots and remakes to low-rise jeans and pop-punk revivals. If you're a millennial, you've probably already seen it all the first time when it was still considered cutting-edge. Related: Maybe it's the rise of AI, the TikTok-fueled nostalgia economy, or just the fact that Gen Z never knew a world without social media. However, originality feels like it's gone missing. And if you've recently seen a pair of JNCO jeans in the wild or a trucker hat at brunch, you might've felt a full-body shudder. Related: As someone considered an Unc in certain circles — and maybe I'm just grumpy and jaded — I have a sneaking suspicion a few of you feel the same way I do. For the millennials of the BuzzFeed Community, what's the trend — fashion, lifestyle, aesthetic, internet behavior — that deserves to stay buried in the past? Related: A few come to my mind off the top: skinny jeans, am I right? I'm honestly surprised they didn't cause long-term blood circulation issues for those of us whose legs couldn't even breathe in them. And while some are attempting to make them fashionable again, it's really just a big no. Although I wouldn't be shocked if it happens again soon, I'm begging for Instagram's in-app filters to stay dead and buried. We don't need them. Let's move on. Related: And maybe most importantly, can we let hustle culture die already? I'll give Gen Z credit: they've done a great job rejecting the grind economy, and let's hope it stays that way. We already know we're getting the short end of the stick, no matter how burnt out we get. And while we're at it, let's retire the whole "can't adult today" energy, too. We're grown. We pay bills. We're just exhausted. On that note, share the millennial trends that should remain in the past and never return in the comment section. For those who feel they have especially hot takes on the matter and would prefer to remain anonymous, feel free to fill out the form below. Also in Community: Also in Community: Also in Community:

Rhea Seehorn and Vince Gilligan's Apple TV+ Series Reveals Title and Fall Premiere Date — Get a First Look
We've been waiting not so patiently for news about Rhea Seehorn's new Apple TV+ series with Vince Gilligan — and now we finally have a name to call it, at least. The upcoming sci-fi series, which reunites Seehorn with Better Call Saul co-creator Gilligan, is titled Pluribus, and it premieres Friday, Nov. 7 on the streamer with the first two episodes, TVLine has learned. Gilligan, who also created Saul's forerunner Breaking Bad, will serve as writer and showrunner. More from TVLine Outlander's Final Season: First Footage Hints at Jamie's Fate (and It's Not Great) - Watch New NCIS: Tony & Ziva Trailer Teases Rekindled Romance... and a Wedding?! - Plus, 30+ New Photos Percy Jackson and the Olympians Reveals Season 2 Release Date and Trailer, Casting for Nico/Bianca Pluribus is described as 'a genre-bending original in which the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.' Along with Seehorn, the cast includes Karolina Wydra (Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and Carlos Manuel Vesga (The Hijacking of Flight 601), and guest stars Miriam Shor (Younger) and Samba Schutte (Our Flag Means Death). Apple TV+ has also released a (kinda gross) first-look teaser for the series, with a woman licking every donut in a box next to a sign saying, 'Help Yourself!' Watch it here: Much of Pluribus is still shrouded in mystery, but the title seems to come from the U.S. motto 'E pluribus unum,' or Latin for 'out of many, one.' (So the word 'many' is a key, somehow.) Plus, Apple TV+ released a teaser image for the series, featuring what looks like a petri dish with a smiley face drawn in some unknown substance, with the tagline: 'Happiness Is Contagious.' Does the story revolve around some sort of lab-grown virus, perhaps? Gilligan dropped some teases about Pluribus a while back: 'I wouldn't call this heavy science fiction, I would call it mild science fiction… There's no crime, and no methamphetamine. It's going to be fun and different.' He added that 'Rhea will be playing a very different character than she played on Saul' and 'the world changes very abruptly in the first episode, and then it is quite different… and the consequences that that reaps hopefully provide drama for many, many episodes after that.' The series was first announced in September 2022, with Apple TV+ handing it a two-season order. Seehorn recently wrapped up a six-season run as attorney Kim Wexler on Better Call Saul, earning two Emmy nominations for best supporting actress in a drama. Best of TVLine 'Missing' Shows, Found!

From Justin Timberlake's lackluster performance to Coldplay's 'kiss cam' scandal, concerts are making headlines this summer — but not for the music
Timberlake fans waited in the rain — and then accused the singer of giving a "soulless" performance. Each year, millions of people purchase tickets to see their favorite artists live in concert — and that number is only growing. And while Taylor Swift may not currently be performing, following the end of her nearly two-year Eras Tour, other stars, such as Beyoncé and Coldplay, are filling in the gap, attracting massive crowds and making headlines. But several recent concerts have made waves this summer for reasons unrelated to the music. In fact, some of the biggest pop culture moments of the season so far have taken place at concerts, from a major 'kiss cam' scandal to a pop star who doesn't appear to be singing much. Justin Timberlake gets called out for not singing Justin Timberlake has been known for his vocal range since his NSync days, which is why many fans were surprised to find that, during his recent world tour, he didn't seem to be singing all that much. Multiple videos posted on social media this month from different shows across the tour show the 'SexyBack' artist singing a few bars before holding out the mic for the audience to take the rest of a verse. During a July 17 performance at Transylvania's Electric Castle festival, fans who waited in the rain for JT later accused him of giving a middling performance. In an Instagram post, Timberlake thanked fans for attending the 'wild show' and 'rockin' with me in the rain,' but many fans expressed their disappointment in the comments. 'Not THAT wild of a show … and I'm a huge fan,' one wrote. 'The delay I got, I accepted it, but the part with you not singing even your most famous verses.. nope, I did not. Us in the crowd wanted to hear you sing the songs we played at home over and over again and danced on so many times, but unfortunately you did not deliver this time.' Another commenter wrote that they bought tickets to the festival just for Timberlake and 'waited patiently' for the show to start even after a 'big delay.' However, they wrote, 'something happened.' 'You did not click with the crowd, the show felt soulless and bored, ended abruptly and earlier,' the commenter continued. 'It was disrespectful towards the many thousands of people waiting for you. Too bad, could have been a nice evening.' Still, others defended Timberlake, arguing that it seemed clear — at least at the Electric Castle festival performance — that the Social Network actor was under the weather. Katy Perry almost falls out of the air midsong Katy Perry's Lifetimes Tour has been endlessly memed on social media, with fans both delighted and baffled by the futuristic-themed spectacle. Some have called it 'messy, while others have found the show emblematic of the campy charm Perry is known for. But Perry's performance of 'Roar' during her July 18 concert in San Francisco inspired genuine fear from the audience when the mechanical butterfly she was hanging on to dropped unexpectedly. Perry handled the situation like a pro (and fortunately she held tight to the butterfly!), but the reactions made clear that aerial stunts are not for the faint of heart — whether you're a performer or just below one in the audience. Coldplay sparks a 'kiss cam' scandal During Coldplay's July 16 show at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, the band's frontman, Chris Martin, had some fun with the crowd while performing 'The Jumbotron Song.' When a couple showed up on the "kiss cam" and then ducked out of view immediately, Martin joked that they were either 'having an affair' or 'just very shy.' Turns out, Martin was correct. The internet did its thing and quickly discovered the identities of the people at the concert, the CEO of tech firm Astronomer, Andy Byron, and his chief people officer, Kristin Cabot. Both are married to other people. The awkward moment sparked endless memes as well as conversations about privacy in today's digital age. Beyoncé is left hanging after a concert malfunction Perry isn't the only pop star who was left dangling onstage due to a faulty prop. Beyoncé's July 28 concert in her hometown of Houston ended abruptly after the flying car prop she was seated in while singing '16 Carriages' malfunctioned, leaving her suspended and tilted in midair. After stopping the song, Beyoncé was eventually lowered and able to get out of the car safely. She even returned to finish performing the hit track from her Cowboy Carter album after a brief pause backstage. Solve the daily Crossword
