Brilliance is the entry ticket. Humility is the job.
Our culture is intellectually driven and highly collaborative. No corner offices, no sacred cows, no idea too senior to challenge. We built a firm where the strength of your evidence — not the length of your tenure — decides what happens next.
How we behave when it's hard.
Truth over comfort
We would rather be corrected today than wrong at size tomorrow. Feedback is direct, immediate, and aimed at the idea — never the person.
Depth over theater
No status meetings for their own sake. No decks where a notebook will do. We measure work by what it proves, not how it presents.
Ownership at every seat
A first-year researcher can halt a strategy. An intern's finding can reprice a book. Authority follows evidence, not tenure.
Long games only
We are built to compound for decades — in capital, in infrastructure, and in people. We do nothing that trades the firm's future for a quarter.
Teach everything
Every insight is documented, every post-mortem is public inside the firm, and every senior person teaches. Knowledge hoarding is the only firing offense nobody survives.
Stay paranoid
Every edge decays. Every model breaks. The moment we believe we've solved markets is the moment we've lost. Humility is a risk control.
24 hours at Klovenier.
The floor follows the sun — Singapore hands to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to London, London to New York. Here's a slice of it.
Pre-open sync. Overnight P&L, APAC handover, anomalies flagged in the risk channel.
Cash open. Traders watch the machines; the machines watch everything else.
Research seminar — a second-year researcher dismantles a published factor paper.
Pair session: an engineer and a researcher shave 40 microseconds off a signal path.
Post-close review. One strategy promoted from shadow to live. One retired.
Poker league, climbing wall, or the reading circuit. Curiosity doesn't clock out.
Built for people who compound.
