Q&A: Quant Research Analyst at Startup Fund
Hey, I'm research analyst at a small startup quant/systematic fund (<1bn AUM) located in a major city in the midwest. We have a broad mandate with a focus currently on event driven equity strategies, which is the PM/founder's background.
There's just a few of us and I work on the main strategy but spend most of my time developing and running new signals/strategies. Aside from a nominal base almost all of my comp comes from my strategies for which I have direct, formulaic pnl linkage. We're not large and I don't run much GMV yet, but the hope is that both will grow as the fund raises capital and I develop strategies that perform.
I've found previous Q&As on WSO very helpful so if anyone has any questions - ask away. If there's interest I can describe my background and current role in grater detail.
Quite interesting! I'm thinking about making a move myself to a startup fund as well.
