VP, High Frequency Equity Systematic trading, Singapore or Hong Kong, US Hedge Fund $Base + %PNL recruitment

Role

Reporting to a senior systematic trading (formerly, Asia Head of Arbitrage Trading at a major Investment Bank), you will focus on:

• Research, back-testing, development and trading of purely automated high frequency equity focused strategies.

• Enhancement of the exiting suite of strategies.

• Working with other team members on the ongoing enhancement of the existing research and trading platform.

This is very good opportunity for a junior to mid-level quantitative trader to build a successful career with one of the world’s leading hedge funds. It will best suit an individual looking for greater transparency between their research ideas, PNL and compensation whilst being part of a diversified platform and group. However, this is not a stand alone opportunity. It is anticipated that the new team member will help to significantly contribute at all levels to the continuing growth and progression of the desk.

Requirements:

• At least 2 + years experience in researching and deploying automated high frequency equity focused strategies.

• Experience of the Asian equity markets is highly desirable.

• Highly quantitative, most likely with advanced degrees (M.S/PhD) in a quantitative discipline.
