Quantitative Analytics


This section contains all our quantitative analytics jobs related to the financial services sector.

"Quants" are highly educated, mathematically oriented financial engineers who devise successful trading strategies in international financial markets. They create financial theories, computer models, valuation techniques and trading programs used by hedge funds, and investment banks.

Quants working in the financial services sector frequently have advanced degrees and PhDs in disciplines such as physics, economics and computer science, or any of several mathematical specialties such as multivariate calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, probability theory and statistical inference.

To succeed in a quant job, you also need to be familiar with widely used programming languages such as C++. It will help if you know the work of economists Myron Scholes, Fischer Black and Robert C. Merton. Scholes and Black are synonymous with options pricing theory, having developed the famous Black-Scholes equation. Their model provided the fundamental conceptual framework for valuing options, and has become the de facto standard in the world's financial markets for valuing those instruments, along with many types of bonds and derivatives that contain embedded options.

Quants are often subjected to a rigorous vetting process by potential employers, who look for more than advanced degrees, including the verification of references and, ideally, published research.

Quant careers may focus on designing and trading complex structured products such as derivatives. There are also a number of opportunities to work in hedge funds.

The use of computer-driven models or algorithms to both identify and rapidly execute profitable arbitrage opportunities has grown rapidly in recent years, to account for the bulk of daily trading volume. Quants are often recruited by broker-dealers to refine the platforms that communicate orders, in order to be able to continue executing trades for funds that rely on those models.

Risk-focused quants also work for specialised software vendors that create and produce risk management products.

Quantitative analytics is one area where a candidate with a doctorate isn't considered to be overqualified, although a master's degree in the appropriate discipline can sometimes suffice. Contrary to MBA candidates, the pedigree of your university isn't always viewed as a hiring advantage, since it's more important to demonstrate you have the skills needed to succeed in the role such as an advanced degree in mathematics, economics, physics, computer science or similar disciplines, an ability to program complex financial models, and good communication skills. Many quants pass the Certificate in Quantitative Finance (CQF) designed by Dr Paul Wilmott.
