Our Traders
Our traders do not fit any real mold. Some are very large and many more are niche traders. They concentrate on market making and arbitrage opportunities with sound risk reward payoffs. They are experienced traders who have gained market experience from a large variety of sources. At one time, they found themselves in a position where their needs were not met, either operationally or financially. They require a well experienced, well capitalized proprietary shop that is willing to work with them to exploit market circumstances. Prime is a company where professional traders go to get the best after tax benefit to them without sacrificing the support they need.
