Equities


This section contains all our equities jobs, including vacancies for equities analysts, salespeople, traders, and more.

The assets left over after a company's debts have been paid off are known as equity.. Stocks and shares - known also as equities - grant their owners partial ownership over these assets.

Traditionally, equities have been traded on large global stock exchanges such as the London Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, the Shanghai Stock Exchange or Deutsche Börse. However, an increasing proportion of equities trading is now taking place off-exchanges, in so-called 'dark pools'. This is where, in order to avoid influencing the price of stocks with large buy and sell orders, buyers and sellers of equities are able to trade anonymously and privately.

Various different entities such as major banks, brokerage houses, agency traders, asset management firms and hedge funds are active in equities recruitment.

Equities salespeople liaise with clients - be they rich individuals, pension funds or other institutional investors - and advise them when to buy and when to sell particular stocks.

They then liaise with equities traders who execute the trade on behalf of the client. At their most simplistic, traders act as market makers. Market makers are able to quote clients both buy and sell prices for particular stocks (according to a client's preference), whilst making money from the bid-offer spread. This is the difference between the price the stock is bought at, and the price at which they sell it on to the client).

Automated trading systems match buyers and sellers, allowing the trade of cash or simple equity products to now take place electronically. Equally, algorithmic trading systems employing mathematical formulae dictating the best investment strategy determine a large proportion of equities trades. Nevertheless, there remains a need for human intervention. For example, when large so-called block trades are being placed, execution traders may be required to break the trades up into smaller and more manageable chunks in order to achieve the best price in the market.

Sales traders are cross between salespeople and traders, recommending products to clients and then executing the trades resulting from their recommendations.

Salespeople not only sell equities themselves, but are also needed to sell electronic trading capabilities. Banks, for example, employ individuals to find clients for their direct market access (DMA), or electronic trading systems.

Alongside actual salespeople and traders, jobs in equities can be for IT programmers, quants, and equity researchers who support an organisation's equity sales and trading capability.
