The increased use of models and quantitative methods has been one of the most significant trends in professional investment over the last 20 years. The quantification of investment decision processes leads to more discipline in investment and in the long term to better investment results. Econometric models make it possible to understand cause-effect relationships on the capital market, to measure the sentiment of market participants and to consistently derive investment decisions from changed data. Empirical knowledge gained from data provides the necessary basic orientation for the investor. Without quantitative analyses of risks and potential returns, sound investment decisions can no longer be made today. The increasing globalization of the world is leading to an ever-increasing complexity of pricing processes on the capital market.
