MEMBER HIGHLIGHT — SER member Gontran de Quillacq recently shared an article titled "Market Integrity Through AI: A Research Partnership for Financial Crime and Law Programs." The article examines why a statistical red flag on its own, such as an unusually high Sharpe ratio, fails to hold up in court without the surrounding context of a fund's structure, fees, and asset exposures, and outlines a cross-sectional model trained on five years of documented securities enforcement actions and civil litigation instead. The piece is a direct outreach effort: Gontran is inviting law schools and financial crime or forensic accounting programs to partner with his research team, giving students structured, hands-on experience reviewing real securities litigation through a clinic, seminar, or independent study. Gontran is the Managing Partner of Navesink International, an expert witness firm specializing in hedge funds, derivatives trading, and securities litigation. If you have ties to a law school or financial crime program, as an adjunct, alum, or advisory board member, this may be worth passing along. You can read the full article on his website a,long with other insights on his blog.
