UBS is number 2 in the world for FX (behind DB, but way ahead of anyone else). They recently shut down there metals commodities business so I would not say commodities. Since the SA is rotational, the best thing you can do is apply to desks that you think you would enjoy and find the right fit once you are there. There is a lot of mobility between desks once you have the job. I'm sure they have other really good desks, but FX is what they are really famous for.
"Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."
Equities - Quant Trading. Have a large proprietary book
Could you please give us more info about why it is good, and the size(# of people, etc) of the division?
One of the consistently profitable prop books on the EQ side. I would say there are about 15 people including some programmers. They were formerly the Program Trading desk. They make pretty substantial bets on the index rebalances, and will make markets on blind program trades. Also responsible for ETF market making.
