Quant Recruiter USA - 2021

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/27/2021 -- This is a great time to be a quantitative analyst - even the impact of a global pandemic has barely slowed the demand for talented people. In fact, as a quant recruiter we have noticed that many of our liquidity providing clients had one of their best years in decades in 2020, and expect this to continue throughout 2021. There is obvious resilience in this area of banking and financial services and there are two key skill sets that are likely to be in demand across the buyside and the sell side throughout the year. The first of these is portfolio construction/optimisation, which is being driven by a focus on creating novel portfolio construction and optimisation techniques now that uncorrelated alphas are proving increasingly hard to come by. Candidates with skills in this field are increasingly in demand. The second skill set that is proving desirable is FICC Execution i.e. quantitative candidates with experience researching statistical execution models, measuring transaction cost, managing trading infrastructure, and overseeing exchange connectivity.
