Quadrature Capital

Quadrature was founded by programmers in 2010 and is headquartered in London. It now operates from offices in London, Singapore and New York, while remaining a privately held, technology-focused trading business.

The firm combines quantitative research with automated trading systems to trade liquid, electronically traded asset classes across different time horizons. Its public materials emphasise proprietary-capital trading rather than managing external client assets, so the third-party description is better framed around systematic trading than conventional hedge-fund portfolio management.

Quadrature appears especially strong in the integration of software engineering, quantitative research and automation. Its careers materials describe a small, selective organisation that hires across technology, research and finance and gives interns and employees exposure to practical problem-solving rather than narrowly defined banking functions.
