Quantitative Trader, Sovereign

1 week ago

Montréal, Canada Nascent Full time

**_About Nascent _**

**_About Sovereign_**

Sovereign is a leading-edge proprietary trading fund at the forefront of innovation and intellectual property (IP) rights incubated within Nascent. Sovereign is building a unique approach to IP that enables individuals to retain full rights to the IP they create, ensuring value alignment between the creator and the company. This distinctive approach permits researchers the autonomy to potentially spin-off their IP into an independent entity, of which Sovereign will have an option to acquire 20%.

In the context of financial markets, higher-variance can lead to extreme results—from wild successes to uninvestable failures.

This process also produces uncorrelated results, creating an ideal environment for debate in a field where intellectual honesty is a prerequisite. Variance will grow when individuals are unconstrained. We aim to build a lab where diversity of ideas obtained through independent exploration leads to quality collaborations and discussions.

**_The_**_ _**_Opportunity_**

At Sovereign, we have built a pipeline with significant alpha generation over numerous asset classes and timeframes. A substantial portion of this alpha remains untapped, primarily due to the intricate requirements involved in execution across diverse asset classes, establishing various brokerage connections, and addressing unique cases associated with each. For this reason we are seeking a Quantitative Trader to spearhead our execution pipeline, encompassing execution optimization, portfolio optimization, and broker connectivity.

**_Responsibilities_**
- Utilize mid-frequency alpha signals (ranging from ~1 minute to 1 month) provided by our quantitative researchers to execute trades across multiple asset classes, including but not limited to US Equities, Forex, Cryptocurrencies, and International Equities.
- Optimize portfolio construction leveraging the provided alpha.
- Establish and maintain connectivity with new brokerage firms.
- Enhance transaction cost efficiency and refine execution algorithms for various trading strategies through Transaction Cost Analysis (TCA), A/B testing, etc.

**_Requirements_**
- Experience in algorithmic trade execution within a mid-frequency framework.
- A basic foundation in statistical principles, including but not limited to correlation analysis, A/B testing, and the capability to perform substantive trading cost analyses.
- Demonstrated expertise in Portfolio Optimization strategies and practices.

**_Our Team & Culture_**

At Nascent, we are an interdisciplinary team of investors, builders & creators, capable of achieving more together than we can as individuals. We offer the opportunity to contribute to building the future global economic system with a world-class team and culture that pairs the freedom to explore, experiment & play with a competitive drive to win. We invest in our people by providing the autonomy to build, coupled with accountability & honest feedback to help learn, grow, perform & win. We're a fully distributed team that understands the value of in-person time—we host two team retreats per year and encourage team members to come together for more frequent in-person work.
