Intraday-Stat Arb Trader- Mid Frequency- Currencies, rates, futures- Global Hedge Fund-$400K++ recruitment

Our client is a global Hedge fund looking to add senior traders to focus on their businesses in London, New York, Connecticut and Chicago.

The Company

The firm is known globally as the one of the most oldest and successful hedge funds in the world with offices in London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Connecticut, NY and Chicago. After making consistent returns during the past 3 years they are now in a position to continue their expansion plans across the US and London. Historically the group has focused on generating alpha across the longer term but now due to the changing market demands and the introduction of new technology the firm is now in a position to trade intraday and is looking for systematic traders to utilise this platform.

The Role

Coming from a background of trading systematically and having your own book for at least 1 year, you will have the necessary skills to thrive in an environment with greater capital and risk appetite. You can expect to be involved in the generation of signals, evaluating price discrepancies in the markets and designing models to take advantage of these in order to generate alpha. The role will be very fast paced with frequent trades taking place during the day or some having overnight positions.

You will be responsible for monitoring your own models/ strategies and making amendments as and when needed. You will play a critical part in designing new strategies as well as implementing your existing strategies as long as they have the capacity to be leveraged with larger capital. The firm has mostly been involved in trading equities over the past decade but has now expanded their currencies, rates and futures business- so this is a key area for development for the Global Head.

Ideally you will have between 1-3 years experience in trading systematically across the liquid space and be looking to leverage your strategies with greater capital and advanced infrastructure.
