He probably is incorporating factor investing as his strategy. Why use something different if you have a reliable strategy?
I was saying good ol' Buffett-style value is fundamental equities innit? Why is it considered quant by this guy
Most likely answer: he doesn't know any better strategies.
A lot of the more interesting quant strategies (for example: statistical arbitrage) have unreliable returns and underperform good old fundamental analysis. He probably doesn't have anything all that impressive up his sleeve, and you won't find many people that do outside of RenTech/Citadel/similar funds.
Most people who do quant trading run thousands of backtests, p-hacking until they find a statistically significant market anomaly, then they trade it until they blow up. It makes them look smart in the short run, but long term undocumented market anomalies are rare and typically what they find either isn't real or doesn't last.
I think some illustrative examples would be Long-Term Capital Management and more recently, Alameda Research. Smart people fooling themselves is more common than actually successful quants.
