Job description

We are looking for research interns to join our Quantitative Equity team for 4 to 8 months starting in January or May 2027. We are a top-performing quant fund that manages over $111 billion in financial assets, with a track record spanning more than two decades. As a privately owned firm, we take a long-term perspective, investing in lasting business success and the long-term careers of our people.

What You Will Do

Investing presents a rich set of research problems that you will explore in this role. Quantitative Researchers lead the development of our investment models and strategies. As an intern, you will work on a real investment research project that requires thinking deeply about the factors that determine business success and modeling the complex dynamics of capital markets, including how information is created, interpreted and reflected in prices. Your work will have a direct impact on investment outcomes.

You will own your research project from beginning to end, including idea generation, signal construction, backtesting and calibration. There is plenty of opportunity to collaborate with your peers and receive mentorship from senior members of our research team.

Our team works with:

  • State-of-the-art techniques, including reinforcement learning, large language models, AI agents and econometric methods
  • Large financial and alternative data
  • Advanced technologies, such as high-performance computing infrastructure and custom research systems

What You Bring

  • Exceptional quantitative and technical ability: a strong foundation in mathematics, statistics, computer science, economics, finance or a related discipline
  • An interest in finance: an interest in the domain is essential; an understanding of capital markets and the drivers of business success is valuable but not required
  • Evidence of exceptional ability and achievement: demonstrated through academic, professional, research, competition, entrepreneurship, or other accomplishments

The monthly salary for this position is $25,000.

Preference is given to candidates approaching graduation. The internship provides an opportunity to transition to a full-time role.

As a private organization owned by active leaders, our structure provides opportunities for exceptional full-time contributors to participate in profit sharing and, over time, potentially become equity owners of the firm.
