What do execution guys do in a quant hedge fund's pipeline?

April 16th, 2018, 2:20 am

Seems to me that quant research (statistical analysis and playing around with data) and engineers (maintain the libraries and other software that can help the fund make $$$) are the big moneymakers in a quant hedgefund 
  1. Outside HFT, what in the pipeline do execution guys contribute to? 
  2. What does a day to day look like? 
  3. What is their interaction with quant research?
  4. Do they sit in Quant vs mid-office w/ ops?
Thanks
