Since I've been asked about this by more than a few people (both this event happening and how the relationship 'worked' before hand), I figured I'd post this up to answer any questions people may have had...
One of the bigger advantages of this buyout is that we are no longer mated to Schonfeld in any way shape or form. With the previous relationship, I think Trillium wanted to go ahead and develop newer tech that wouldnt interface so well with Schonfelds back-end software so they werent able to go able employ it but this opens up a lot more development opportunities.
One of the biggest advantages at Trillium is that the tech team is VERYVERYVERY responsive with the tech developments -- if you have a great idea that will benefit a lot of the traders and be useful it can be implemented in a month's time or much quicker depending on the complexity of it and how useful it will be. And as much people know, tech and trading platforms are very vital to trading.
Before I get bombarded with questions, hiring is largely done for this year but will start up again in October for the class of '13 :P Bombard away.

Cool, my bro lives in NYC and wants me to move out there with him, but I didn't get into the big paid funds(Tower, TwoSigma, etc), so I settled on Chicago. Was thinking about moving to NYC once I get my feet wet.
If you're at a good shop in Chicago no reason to move IMHO ESP since cos of living is much cheaper in the chi
Thanks for posting this. SB'd.
Does Schonfeld still fund emerging HFs and CTAs? If so, any idea if Trillium will continue doing so as well?
