Graduate Buy Side Research Analyst

SIG is looking for final year students who are interested in why financial markets move the way they do to join our 2023 Buy Side Research Graduate Program.

Our Buy Side Research Analysts work directly with our traders to identify trading opportunities in the equity and options markets. From providing real-time opinions on breaking news to in-depth analysis of future catalyst events, our Buy Side Research Analysts have a constant impact on our trading strategies.

As a Buy Side Research Analyst, you will be responsible for finding opportunities that other market participants may not be capitalizing on, either by discovering new information or considering existing knowledge from a different perspective. You will be embedded in a sector-focused trading desk and work collaboratively with traders who rely heavily on the analysis you provide to make trading decisions. Grads can expect:

• Option theory and option modelling lessons in the classroom.
• Decision making - using game theory, decision science, poker, and other strategy games. It’s true what you’ve heard!
• Real impact - SIG Grads work closely with our experienced traders and researchers on real-world projects that directly impact our trading business.
