Commodity Fund seeks Agricultural Analysts, London
Commodity trading is often more about the fundamentals and analytics behind trade execution and this fund build and optimise their own models from scratch, taking into account physical market factors. This provides a significant edge to their trading strategy, which presently focuses on the Futures markets. A small team of Ags Modelling Analysts is required to solely own this space. The successful incumbents will develop pricing models from a fundamental stand point, with strong Excel, VBA, C++, or relevant technical skills. The curves you produce will be used to forecast futures prices in the short-term traded horizon for the products including Sugar, Wheat, Soybeans and Corn.
Main responsibilities:
- Forecast, on a short-term basis, geographic specific Ags demand and therefore model Futures price curves
- Maintain and improve existing models and set up new models.
- Provide sound analytical advice to in house traders.
Experience required:
- Numerate degree - Masters level ideally.
- Agronomics, and Ags market fundamental analysis and modelling experience in a traded environment is essential, from a physical trading house, or investment bank.
- Must have a wide-breadth modelling toolkit - Excel, VBA, C, Matlab, and/or other
Reward at this fund is an exceptional bonus-driven compensation structure - potentially multiples of your base salary. The culture at this fund is very relaxed, and staff are judged on the quality of their work rather than time spent at the desk.
