Quality Money Management

Quality Money Management (QMM), first proposed by Kumiega and Van Vliet (and also known in some areas as Quality Portfolio Management (QPM) or Quality Investment Management (QIM)), is composed of all the procedures for development, research, testing, implementation, and management of trading/investment systems, including delineation of responsibilities, all deliberately aimed at achieving performance levels consistent with or above the specifications of seed capital providers and investors. This is not a one-time effort. QMM requires ongoing commitment to improve continuously the systems of trade selection, execution, risk management and all other trading/investment system processes and the performance of statistical process control on risk attributes. When these procedures are taken together, they define how management of the trading/investment organization operates.
