About Us
Our Vision
Our vision is to build the Ultimate Automated Trading Business.
We see a future where Quadrature trades all liquid electronically tradeable asset classes across all horizons to generate consistent, significant returns on our proprietary capital.
The technology we’re building is based on modular components shared across as many of our trading strategies as possible to maximise impact. The highly automated nature of our systems will mean that our people can focus on the most meaningful creative tasks, working collaboratively across all parts of our business to add value.
Finding and keeping the best people
People are at the heart of our business, and we do all we can to create a culture people both enjoy being a part of, and where they can flourish and grow.
Maximising opportunities
Many businesses consider this to mean maximising short-term profits. We don’t mean that - we focus on opportunities that support the long term growth, health and success of our business. Reliable, sustainable revenue is more important to us than short-term gains.
Automating repetitive activities
Automating what we can frees up our time to work on new and innovative projects, so we like developing tools that optimise everyone’s workflow. Whilst we can’t automate everything, and sometimes there are trade-offs that mean we need to prioritise where our efforts go, we highly value this work and make room for it wherever possible.
Embracing robust processes and technology
We aim for quality and scalability in everything we do, not just in tech. We’re pragmatic, but we don’t just hack things together - we build things to last and sweat the details.
Our Guiding Principles
Our Guiding Principles influence the decisions that we make and how we think about our work. These Principles act as our anchors - they remind us of what’s important.
Our Values
Our Values are the foundation upon which our business is built. They support our vision, shape our culture and reflect the personality of our people. They are the behavioural traits that are special to us, critical to our success and that we ensure are kept alive at all costs.
Entrepreneurial
We take ownership of outcomes at every step and show real grit in getting things done. That same drive shows up when we look for ways to improve how we do things, day by day, because incremental improvement is critical to achieving long term results. It doesn’t mean being a lone wolf or prioritising your own success.
Collaborative
We’re one global team working towards the same goals, not lots of teams working independently. So we weigh ideas, opinions and decisions against what’s best for the wider business, sharing thinking early enough for others to do the same. It doesn’t mean consensus, trying to make everyone happy, or being agreeable in the moment, only to disagree later.
Kind
We’re conscientious and treat each other well. We’re also truthful and say the hard thing that needs to be said - this helps others and makes the work better. It doesn’t mean being artificially nice and agreeable, or mistaking conflict avoidance for harmony.
Humble
We embrace the position of learner and are curious about things we don’t yet understand. It doesn’t mean being overly deferential, or weak when there’s something to contribute.
