Hedge Fund to Prop Trading
Hey guys,
I currently work at one of the worlds largest commodity funds as a trader/analyst.
I've developed a couple of quant strategies that have really impressive back testing results as well as some outstanding YTD results that have been been invested with >$10m of capital. One particular strategy has a sharpe of over 3 and each trade is held for just 5 days. YTD the strategy is up over 15%.
The point is I want more recognition (better comp) for generating these strategies. I also have a strong background trading relative value spreads based on fundamentals.
Basically, I'm tossing up whether to start my own fund or work at a prop shop.
Does anyone have some well respectable proprietary trading firms that they think are worth reaching out to? Given my location, I'd like to work remotely but happy to relocate to Europe or the US.
Thanks!
