About
A research house born from an observation
The BRVM is growing fast, yet its participants still have few quantitative tools suited to its realities: limited liquidity, irregular data and rules specific to a regional market. StatQuant was founded to fill that gap, with one requirement: rigorous, transparent methods that are useful for decision-making.
The founder
Hermann Traoré
Founder, quantitative research · Master's in Applied Mathematics, Université Paris Dauphine – PSL
A graduate of the Master's programme in Applied Mathematics at Université Paris Dauphine – PSL (Tunis campus), Hermann Traoré discovered financial markets during his preparatory classes and deepened that interest as a member of the Dauphine trading club. After working on actuarial studies at ERM Partners, he turned to proprietary trading, specialising in fundamental and quantitative analysis of foreign exchange and precious metals.
Based in Côte d'Ivoire, he observed the lack of a rigorous quantitative approach on local markets. He founded StatQuant to fill that gap: to give market participants methods and tools grounded in data and scientific rigour.
