Craib: Numerai was unaffected by the January momentum crash
“For example, you know, in January, momentum, the factor crashed, and a lot of quants did badly. Numeri is neutral to momentum, so we basically didn't even notice this crash because we're hedged to that risk, and we do that with as many things as possible to ma…”
