2020 looked nothing like anyone expected. Among the many who’ve had a difficult job of navigating this environment are investors and risk managers, who have traditionally relied on historical data to backtest trade strategies and assess risk exposures for current and future events. This has been a tough job in a year when so much of what happened had no precedent. 

This week's guest Jeremy Sosabowski, a former Cambridge physicist turned fintech entrepreneur, has developed market forecasting analytics based on quantum computing that enable investors to position for “Black Swan” events without the need for historical data, using quantum computing. His firm AlgoDynamix, provides a new level of forecasting analytics that provide advance warning of major directional market movements, not requiring any historical data or knowledge of any previous disruptive events.
