Training & Development
Because of the specific nature of the work-environment, we do not expect you to plunge headfirst into your new job. Instead, you will start by following in a three months intensive in-house training program that covers all the intricate details of the trading processes. As a member of an informal team, you will then gradually take on more responsibilities, start monitoring markets and only then start making split-second portfolio adjustments that are at the heart of our success. From trading to devising tactics, and from contributing to new tools to implementing actual programs: you help shape our trading strategies.
What you need to success?
University degree, preferably in (quantitative) Finance, Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, Econometrics or related.
And there are a few things that all of our Traders have in common: They are very analytical (with strong affinity for number), they like to work in teams, they have very strong interest in the financial markets, they can take quick decisions under pressure and they are competitive.
Presentation
During our interactive presentation, you will gain more insight into the world of trading provided by a Trader and Recruiter. This is your chance to ask all your questions and to find out what a day in the life of a trader is like. Our Trader will provide a mini lecture on ETFs and will share information about our core-business with you. You will also learn about our company culture, cutting edge technology and how you can become a trader yourself!
