Vidhi Chheda
Vidhi is the youngest invited speaker at this year’s Quant Convention, bringing fresh perspectives to the world of quantitative finance. She is a Partner at Qode Advisors LLP, a SEBI resigtered PMS firm that specializes in utilizing cutting-edge quantitative finance and data-driven methods to make strategic investment decisions. Vidhi also leads the Prop Trading Division at Swan Capital, where she plays a key role in advancing algorithmic trading.
With 8 years of market experience, Vidhi began her career as a Derivatives Trader at the age of 22. Coming from a finance background, she realized that subjective trading was not the way to go and decided to delve into backtesting and coding to improve her trading strategies. This decision led her to gain expertise in backtesting with Amibroker and Python. Among her notable achievements is the development of an automated trading execution setup on Amibroker, which is utilized for both proprietary trading desk and clients.
Vidhi is a very system-oriented person and applies the same rigor to her work, ensuring consistency and efficiency in her trading strategies. Risk management is of utmost importance to her because she firmly believes that *"risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing,"* a philosophy that drives her careful analysis and decision-making in the financial markets.
Before her current roles, Vidhi worked as a Financial Analyst with several US-based investment banks and private equity firms as clients, where she was involved in research and financial modeling. This diverse experience has provided her with a well-rounded understanding of the financial industry, bolstered by her academic credentials, including a Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS) and CFA Level 1 certification.
Vidhi is currently in the process of establishing herself as a leader within her company, taking on pivotal responsibilities that influence strategic decision-making. She is dedicated to developing strategies that prioritize long-term wealth growth for her clients, aligning her efforts with their financial goals and aspirations. Her ultimate goal is to assist others in wealth generation over the years by leveraging the power of quantitative portfolio management. She believes in creating value through innovation and precision, ensuring that her clients benefit from carefully crafted investment strategies.
Her analytical mindset and problem-solving skills enable her to tackle complex financial challenges, consistently delivering solutions that drive success.
As she embarks on her journey as a speaker at the Quant Convention, Vidhi is eager to share her insights and gain new perspectives from fellow experts in the field.
