About SIG

We commit our own capital to trade financial products around the world. Building virtually all of our own trading technology from scratch, we are leaders and innovators in high performance, low latency trading. Our traders, quants, developers, and systems engineers work side by side to develop and implement our trading strategies. Each individual brings their unique expertise every day to help us make optimal decisions in the global financial markets. Our culture is strong and deeply embedded in our approach to business. We care about: The Entrepreneurial Mindset We want everyone at SIG to think like an entrepreneur. Our growth is driven by ideas, iterative and bold, local and global. We are not constrained by traditional approaches and we thrive on creating innovative solutions to challenging problems. Good Decision Making We believe in a rigorous and analytical approach to decision making. Making good decisions is fundamental to success in the financial markets and in life. Becoming a good decision maker requires reflection and practice. We provide training and support to help each person become a better decision maker. Collaboration We believe that smart people working together will always come up with a better solution than the lone genius. We design our work environments to promote communication and to keep out unnecessary hierarchy and bureaucracy. Our collective intellect and wisdom are improved through discourse and debate. Expertise We value the expertise of the people we hire. We provide an environment where each individual can have measureable impact and the freedom to grow. Integrity Our reputation means everything. Having a high level of integrity is one of the most important characteristics we possess.
