## Role details

## Quantitative Associate Programme

**Start Date:** Flexible between January and September 2027

**Location:** London / New York (there are significantly more opportunities available in London)

## About the Programme

You will be working in a position designed for high-calibre, highly numerate individuals within our quantitative teams. We value free thinking and foster a fast-paced, meritocratic environment where you will be encouraged to take initiative and challenge conventional wisdom.

As part of the quantitative teams, you will deliver on the research agenda, including backtesting and researching forecasts of asset returns over horizons of hours to years. Participants tend to be among the top students at their university, and previous associates have gone on to create and optimise our signature systematic trading models.

As a member of our Quantitative Associate Programme, you will be part of a select cohort receiving on-the-job training from experienced colleagues with a strong track record of helping high-performing individuals reach their potential.

## Quant Research

You will research, develop, and refine predictive signals and models that drive our investment strategies—turning data into alpha. The work spans statistical modelling, machine learning, large-scale data analysis, and signal research, including:

  
- Sourcing and exploring novel datasets
  
- Designing and validating trading signals
  
- Rigorously backtesting hypotheses against real market conditions
  
- Collaborating with portfolio managers to bring the strongest ideas into production

This is an intellectually demanding role where you will push the boundaries of what our models can capture and continually sharpen our competitive advantage.
