Company

The firm has offices in NY/CT, Hong Kong and London and focus on systematic trading across the FX, futures, commodities and equities markets. They focus on mid frequency trading with typical trades covering the daily to monthly area. The current focus is to bring on board 3 systematic PM’s across all regions that will focus on expanding into new markets while being supported strategically, technically and with the necessary capital and risk appetite. The firm has historically focused on quality as opposed to quantity and focus on future business leaders when it comes to their hiring. They have the capacity to bring on board teams also although the current focus is on PNL generating PM’s. The opportunity will best suit a quantitative trader who has been running mid frequency strategies with a book size of more than $5MN and a live track record of at least 12 months. The firm is willing to give ownership and risk to the PM’s with capital backing of $100MN+ and percentage payouts based on PNL generated.

Responsibilities

Your role will involve researching, back testing, developing the algorithms and executing systematic mid frequency strategies. Although not limited to, you will go beyond just a plug and play model and be actively involved in researching new quantitative strategies. The firm is looking for someone that has taken ownership of risk before and is motivated by scaling up their strategies whilst also having the opportunity to build a team in the medium term. A quant background is desirable but not necessary.

Ideally you will have a recent live 12 month track record of trading systematically across the daily to monthly horizon and have the motivation to build a new business across new markets for an already established global electronic trading house.

Profile

• Strong academic background is a plus

• A PNL generator

• 12 month recent live track record across the mid frequency space

• Strategy that has been traded with $5MN+ capital and is scalable without leveraging or affecting performance
