Quantitative Analyst and Programming Hedge Fund Jobs

In the hedge fund world, quantitative analyst work closely with traders to develop trading models based on Statistics and Computational Mathematics. Entire funds are built upon quant models, so often the “Quants” are in high demand in the hedge fund world. And for the masters of quantitative finance, quantitative hedge fund jobs are in high demand.

Quantitative analysts can develop new or maintain legacy systems for portfolio management, financial statement calculations, position reconciliations, and prime broker interfaces. Quantitative models are often developed to automate the process of exploiting market inefficiencies.

Many quant hedge fund jobs call for a Masters or PhD with a background in statistics and mathematics, and often the most successful firms hire only from the top colleges and universities. Some technical skills often required include: C++, Matlab, Oracle, Perl, SQL, and VB.
