Five Rings

Five Rings is a proprietary trading firm founded around the combination of strategy, innovation and technology. The firm trades its own capital rather than relying on clients or outside investors, and describes its markets as spanning domestic and international venues, including both established and less conventional markets.

Its operating model brings quantitative traders, researchers and software developers together to identify opportunities, assess risk and build trading systems. The firm emphasizes rapid iteration, with strategies often moving from research to implementation within days or weeks.

For students, Five Rings is especially relevant to quantitatively oriented candidates interested in trading, research or production technology. Its internship and graduate hiring is organized around quantitative trading, quantitative research, software development and trading operations, with close mentoring and hands-on work on trading models and infrastructure.
