QuantHub is an operating system (OS) designed to help manage investments, and in particular, to facilitate the design and implementation of systematic or quantitative strategies. Quantitative investing takes a scientific data-centric approach to invest money, by building statistical forecasting models as a set of very complex rules in order to make decisions.
The three shapes within the circle symbolize an upward directed financial bar chart, conveying that financial success is an inherent ingredient of QuantHub. The parallel shapes also remind of conductor tracks, so that the symbol fits well in the environment of a software OS. Finally, the symbol represents an abstract Q matching the initial letter of QuantHub.
