INQUIRE maintains close relations with the following organisations, which have similar aims but with different geographical and other emphases.
Inquire Europe
- caters primarily to the needs of investment practitioners in Europe rather than the UK, but otherwise has very similar aims
- alternates with INQUIRE in holding a 2-day joint residential seminar each spring
- offers up to 5 seats free of charge to delegates from INQUIRE at its own 2-day residential autumn seminar
- may send up to 5 of its own delegates free of charge to each INQUIRE seminar
The Q-Group
- caters primarily to the needs of investment practitioners in North America rather than the UK, but otherwise has very similar aims
- holds two residential conferences each year at which it offers seats to delegates from INQUIRE on payment of a guest fee
- on a similar basis may send delegates to each INQUIRE seminar
The Chicago Quantitative Alliance (CQA)
- also caters primarily to the needs of investment practitioners in North America, but unlike the Q-Group has individual rather than corporate membership and focuses on seminars rather than research as such.
- holds four conferences and other events each year in North America and, through its Asian chapter CQAsia, one in Hong Kong
- offers up to 5 seats free at each event free of charge to delegates from INQUIRE
- may send up to 5 of its own delegates to each INQUIRE seminar
The Society of Quantitative Analysts (SQA)
- is similar to CQA but is based in New York and has a slightly different membership set-up
- holds monthly evening meetings and twice-yearly conferences
- at which (subject to final agreement with SQA) it is hoped it will offer seats to delegates from INQUIRE on payment of a guest fee, and on a similar basis may send delegates to each INQUIRE seminar
