Execution Trader
Location: London
Reporting Line: Co-Managing Director
Who We Are
Founded in 2002, Marble Bar is a hedge fund manager built on intellectual discipline, research, data-driven insight and a deep understanding of investment behaviours. Since its founding, the firm has worked with portfolio managers to develop and document repeatable investment processes and to adapt to continually evolving markets. For over twenty years we have sought our talented managers and built an environment designed to support them.
What We Do
The firm is building a market-neutral quantamental equity platform that combines discretionary investment management with systematic research and technology, including artificial intelligence tools.
Portfolio managers retain full discretion over the investment decisions they make for the strategies they manage. AI and machine-learning tools are used to support elements of the investment process, including research, data analysis and screening, and post-trade analytics, as well as to strengthen the firm’s operational, monitoring and infrastructure capabilities. The scope of these tools continues to develop as the platform is built out.
Our objective is to build a platform on which technology supports the quality, speed and consistency of the firm’s research, operational and decision-support processes.
