Hard Eight and its affiliates have significant experience in providing seed funding to seasoned portfolio managers and traders who are looking to start a new venture. We look only for especially talented traders with a proven track record of profitability and relatively low variance. We’ve seeded some of the most successful traders, trading groups, and trading technology firms in the country by providing trading and operational support along with favorable compensation packages. Hard Eight is a global proprietary trading firm headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. We trade across all major asset classes and geographies using our own capital and do not have customers or clients.
