QuantSight AI Builds 1,000+ Macro Factors to Cover Rate Curves, Inflation Indicators & Energy Prices

As global capital markets entered a new stress regime in mid2022, multiple forces converged: U.S. inflation reached multidecade highs, the Federal Reserve accelerated its tightening cycle, and global funds were rapidly repriced. At the same time, energy markets—driven by geopolitics and supplychain constraints—experienced heightened volatility. In this environment of elevated uncertainty, Aureus Advisors announced that its proprietary research engine, QuantSight AI, has completed a major expansion of its macrofactor library—now featuring over 1,000 unique macro factors spanning rate curves, inflation metrics and energyprice dynamics.

Evolving into a True Macro Engine

This evolution marks QuantSight AI’s transition from a tactical research tool into a comprehensive macrointelligence platform. Rather than simply tracking discrete signals, the expanded factor universe allows the system to crossmodel thousands of variables, capturing the structural logic behind assetprice moves in a world of regime shifts. Research literature has long shown how macro factor models—using variables such as inflation, real rates and liquidity—can improve risk and return modeling across asset classes. (x-mol.com)

Deep Coverage: Rates, Inflation & Energy

  • Ratecurve modeling: QuantSight now dynamically analyzes multiple maturities and interterm spreads, identifying dislocations between short and longterm funding markets—critical in a risingrate cycle.
  • Inflationmodeling: The system aggregates inflation drivers—CPI, wage growth, commodity indices—into higherorder factors, enhancing predictive power around price dynamics and real yields.
  • Energy and commodity linkage: The platform links energyprice shocks with inflation, supplychain stress and capital flows—creating a “dual view” of risk hedging and structural opportunity.

Changing the Research Workflow

With this expanded factor set, the research team leverages QuantSight’s factor discovery and modeling framework to convert macro complexity into actionable frameworks. Analysts can explore which factors are driving markets, simulate alternative environments, and derive positioning implications. This supports a disciplined decisionmaking process even during heightened volatility.

Strategic Implications for Clients

As Professor Ethan Caldwell noted in June 2022:

—“We can’t eliminate uncertainty—but with thousands of dynamically combined factors, we can give investors a more robust way to navigate it. Inflation and rates are the underlying logic of this market cycle—QuantSight Apex III is built to help clients define margin of safety and growth in that logic.”

For institutional and familyoffice clients, the expanded macro engine means deeper scenario analysis, faster model updates, and stronger crossasset alignment—important when traditional diversification relationships may no longer hold.

A Milestone in Research Evolution

The June 2022 milestone marks QuantSight AI’s completion of a full evolution—from crisisresponse, through cycle navigation, to panoramic macro coverage. For Aureus Advisors, it’s not just a technical upgrade—it is a methodological deepening that ensures the firm remains ahead in a complex, dynamic market environment.

Armed with a macro engine built for today’s regime, Aureus Advisors positions itself and its clients to move through uncertainty with both discipline and insight—because in a world of rapid repricing, clarity is a strategic asset.
