Quantext provides quantitative modeling software and professional services for applications ranging from portfolio simulation and risk management to insurance and litigation support. Geoff Considine founded Quantext in March 2002 to provide these and related services. He has worked on developing portfolio modeling tools for various applications for more than ten years, and clients include a range of large and mid-sized firms, as well as individual investors and investment advisors. Quantext's client list also includes agencies of the United States government, other consulting firms, and law firms.  Our clients are both domestic and abroad.

Before founding Quantext, Geoff was VP for Advanced Development at e-Acumen, a venture-funded firm that provided trading and and risk management platforms to large energy firms. Earlier in his career, he worked on a trading floor developing trading systems and strategy at Aquila Energy, then the second largest trader of electricity and gas in the United States.

Before entering trading and risk management, Geoff worked for NASA for seven years and holds a Ph.D. from the Department of Astrophysical, Planetary, and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Colorado at Boulder.   While at NASA, Geoff worked extensively on problems of statistical forecasting and simulation and published papers in a range of international scientific journals.  This work included non-linear/non-parametric regression, Monte Carlo simulation, and extensive research on Fourier methods, wavelets, and other time-space decomposition methods.  These academic methods led to development of financial modeling products, such as the use of Spectral Monte Carlo methods for portfolio simulation and calculation of Value-at-Risk. 

Quantext Retirement Planner / Quantext Portfolio Planner

The Quantext Retirement/Portfolio Planner (QRP/QPP) is a Monte Carlo retirement planning / portfolio management tool that allows individuals and advisors to design better portfolios and to determine necessary savings levels to support future income needs at a high level of confidence.  The Planner(s) also allow the user to determine the optimal personal mix of investments, manage risk, and develop a holistic portfolio management strategy for the near, medium, and long-term. QPP and QRP have been extensively benchmarked against institutional models.  We believe that QPP and QRP represent the best practice in portfolio planning for advisors and individual investors.

Quantext has provided provided consulting services to a range of entities in the areas of portfolio analysis, risk management, and modeling. 

Quantext is a strategic adviser to FOLIOfn,Inc. (www.foliofn.com), an innovative brokerage firm specializing in offering and trading portfolios for advisors and individual investors.
