Quantitative Researcher
About the Company
My client is leading a quantitative hedge fund which engages in systematic, process-driven proprietary trading. The firm builds automated trading strategies aimed at capturing market inefficiencies across various markets and asset classes, from a few milliseconds to longer term—both pure arbitrage or statistical in nature. The team has an extensive history of successfully running quantitative trading strategies for over a decade and spun out as a hedge fund. They operate at the intersection of trading, quantitative modelling, and technology, making roles highly interdisciplinary.
