Quant Recruiter Throughout the UK – 2021

London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/28/2021 -- The past year has seen a great deal of progress in innovative areas of financial services such as quantitative analytics. Two key trends look set to dominate in 2021: Portfolio Construction/Optimisation and FICC Execution. As a quant recruiter we've seen demand for those with skills in both these areas start to spike. Portfolio Construction/Optimisation has been a growth area for several years now and many hedge funds have already invested in team building to support it. However, this is now a dominant trend in the StatArb industry and, as a result, there is an increasing need for candidates with the right skills. FICC Execution, the ability to research statistical execution models, measure transaction costs, manage trading infrastructure and oversee exchange connectivity is also another key trend in quants. This is being driven by the significant increase in trading of quant macro and systematic credit instruments.
