Join one of the Fastest growing FinTech's in the UK
We are one of the UK’s fastest growing FinTech startup companies, with huge growth planned across the UK and USA in 2023. We aren’t exaggerating when we say we are the global leaders in quant trading technologies. Investors with a combined $5 trillion of assets under management (AUM) are using SigTech and we were recently recognized as the Best Quant Technology Provider in the annual Hedgeweek awards.
Our vision
The single most fundamental problem in modern civilisation is around information. Information wants to be free and raw - and at the same time, it wants to be expensive. The right piece of data at the right time can change lives.
At SigTech, we are solving the problem of tension between free and raw data, and refined and valuable data.
So, like oil, only when it is refined does data truly provide life/business changing value.
Quant trading?
Quantitative investing consists of trading strategies that rely on mathematical computations and analysis to identify trading opportunities. In a data-driven world, the time and efficiency saved by deploying our software is game-changing for our clients.
Don’t worry if you don’t understand technical stuff from the outset, not all our roles need a familiar understanding of quant trading.
Why our tech is special!
Our tech enables our customers to backtest their trading strategies, gives them instant access to clean and validated data and allows them to customize 300+ pre-built investment strategies, then seamlessly deploy and trade. Wow.
