Career Opportunity for Quant Traders

Career Opportunity for Quant Traders as Strategy Managers

We are looking for 3-4 traders (or trading teams) to showcase as Strategy Managers on our Algorithmic Trading Platform.  Ideally these would be systematic quant traders, since that is the focus of our fund (although they don’t have to be).  So far the platform offers a total of 10 strategies in equities, options, futures and f/x.  Five of these are run by external Strategy Managers and five are run internally.

The goal is to help Strategy Managers build a track record and gain traction with a potential audience of over 100,000 members.  After a period of 6-12 months we will offer successful managers a position as a PM at Systematic Strategies and offer their strategies in our quantitative hedge fund.  Alternatively, we will assist the manager is raising external capital in order to establish their own fund.

If you are interested in the possibility (or know a talented rising star who might be), details are given below.

Volatility ETF Trader – June 2017: +15.3%

The Volatility ETF Trader product is an algorithmic strategy that trades several VIX ETFs using statistical and machine learning algorithms.

We offer a version of the strategy on the Collective 2 site (see here for details) that the user can subscribe to for a very modest fee of only $149 per month.

The risk-adjusted performance of the Collective 2 version of the strategy is unlikely to prove as good as the product we offer in our Systematic Strategies Fund, which trades a much wider range of algorithmic strategies.  There are other important differences too:  the Fund’s Systematic Volatility Strategy makes no use of leverage and only trades intra-day, exiting all positions by market close.  So it has a more conservative risk profile, suitable for longer term investment.

The Volatility ETF Trader on Collective 2, on the other hand, is a highly leveraged, tactical strategy that trades positions overnight and holds them for periods of several days .  As a consequence, the Collective 2 strategy is far more risky and is likely to experience significant drawdowns.    Those caveats aside, the strategy returns have been outstanding:  +48.9% for 2017 YTD and a total of +107.8% from inception in July 2016.

You can find full details of the strategy, including a listing of all of the trades, on the Collective 2 site.

Subscribers can sign up for a free, seven day trial and thereafter they can choose to trade the strategy automatically in their own brokerage account.
