About the Role

I’m working with a newly launched, research-driven hedge fund in London that is building a systematic investment platform from scratch. The fund’s edge comes from leveraging alternative and traditional datasets to identify alpha across global markets. This is a unique chance to be an early member of the research team, helping shape the data and research strategy at the ground level.

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.
