Stat-Arb/ high frequency researcher- full life cycle- Liquid markets- Billion Dollar Fund- £400K++

Multi-billion dollar hedge fund with a presence in Asia, London and NY are looking to appoint 3 researchers/ traders as part of their new stat arb-high frequency business globally.

The Firm

The firm have been known historically as one of the first hedge funds to hit the billion dollar mark in terms of assets under management- having been around for well over 2 decades. They have historically focused on hiring senior portfolio managers and traders but most recently have begun building out their high frequency and stat arb business.  The group head has been putting together the blueprint of expanding their stat arb business over the past year and they are now in a position where they are looking to appoint researchers/ traders across the liquid markets that they operate in; currencies, commodities, futures and FX.

The role will involve being part of a global team- either based in London, Hong Kong or New York. It will be a small collegiate group focused around generating alpha across the stat arb to high frequency space.  You will be involved in the full life cycle from coding, developing trading ideas and executing algorithms. The firm has a very flat structure and you will only report into the head of trading- allowing you to have greater autonomy of your work and realising your real potential within quant finance.

Ideally you will have between 1-3 years experience in researching or trading systematic stat arb strategies within the liquid space. The firm has a global presence and are looking for candidates that can build a long-term career and are looking to go beyond a research and trading role to actually building a global team and business.
