We're a global quantitative trading firm that's been at this since 1987, when a group of college friends decided we'd be better at trading together than apart. Our days are spent applying rigorous quantitative methods and game theory to financial markets, using the same analytical thinking you'd find in strategic games like poker. We've built our culture around the idea that smart people working collaboratively will always outperform lone geniuses.
What actually drives us is the intellectual challenge of solving complex problems in fast-paced markets. Our team of researchers, engineers, and traders work side-by-side to develop trading strategies using machine learning and advanced quantitative research. We maintain offices around the world, trading nearly around the clock, but we've never lost that collaborative, learning-focused environment that got us started. Whether it's analyzing data sets or playing board games together, we're constantly refining how we make decisions under uncertainty.
