My client prides itself on research and collaboration, with an environment where teams of researchers and portfolio managers work very closely with each other. Having initially focused on the cash equities space, their strong performances since inception have allowed them to expand operations. They no longer focus on a specific asset class, operating in markets globally and deploying a wide range of strategies and frequencies. Their main offices are in London, Paris, New York, Hong Kong and Singapore.

The Role

As a Quantitative Researcher key responsibilities will include utilising datasets to identify trends and patterns in the markets. With this information you will be producing signals and designing strategies to backtest. Eventually you will convert these into live systematic trading strategies and then assess their performance. Outside of strategy research, you will be responsible for helping to optimise the portfolio; designing models and tools to provide yourself and the team with performance indicators.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
