I really want to learn the maths used, could someone give a quick rundown of that please? (I know maths in general would be the correct answer, but I want more focus)

I don't have experience with quant algorithms in particular, but they likely use complex differential equations.

Essentially, equations you feed variables into (in this case, various financial metrics), which then return some sort of scoring of financial assets.

If you aren't familiar with calculus, I'd start there. Calculus is the basis of differential equations.

I had a feeling it had something to do with changes in rates, makes sense.

Too many hedge funds using similar quant techniques, it just leads to market normalization. Take a look at average return rates of hedge funds and notice how they haven't been outperforming everyone else

Their Global IPO fund is a complete joke, my god. Laughably bad returns most years and almost 5% in management fees - truly a terrible investment.
