MARKET STRUCTURE ANALYST
Who we are
As a leading, independent, global trading group, we’re all about teamwork, innovation, integrity and genuine passion for what we do. These attributes ensure we do an excellent job of providing the best derivative prices to the international market. We’re also the principal investor of our business. Having no clients’ means we’re continually investing in our own growth. As a result, we now have offices in Amsterdam, Chicago, Hong Kong, Sydney, China and Taipei.
How it all started
In 1986 in Amsterdam, what started out as just a few Dutch traders is now a team of over 600-strong across the globe.
Our Sydney office opened in 1996, and has grown rapidly since, with well-established teams in trading, IT and business operations. We trade on a range of markets, including Australia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and Korea, in all the major indices, with our portfolio consisting of multiple asset classes.
Each trade involves the complex task of balancing calculated risk with long-standing experience. It’s this formula that makes smart and profitable trades every second of every day and into the future. Making the best decisions requires the continual development of state-of-the-art software, and the most advanced technology. That’s why trading and IT work together as the right and left hands of the business
It’s different here!
We prefer an informal, fun and comparatively flat structure that encourages innovation and collaboration. The kind of environment that gives you the freedom to be the best you can be and keeps us at the top of our game.
