You will experience this dedication to training as you work collaboratively with the research analysts and traders on your desk to gain hands-on exposure. You will also learn about options and the decision-making strategies that our traders employ. This role provides the unique opportunity to combine the quantitative aspects of finance with creative problem-solving in order to develop trade ideas in a fast-paced, proprietary trading environment.
Specific job duties include
- Evaluating and tracking special situations such as mergers, acquisitions, and other corporate actions
- Identifying and analysing upcoming events
- Providing real-time opinions on breaking news
- Collaborating with traders on investment ideas
- Traveling to company events and conferences as required
- Performing stock valuation analysis
