About Us
Squarepoint is a privately held firm led by its four founding partners across thirteen cities around the world.
The business dates back to 2000 and has evolved through Lehman Brothers and Barclays before becoming independent in December 2014.
We are committed to developing a world-class quantitative investment platform through our systematic, diversified approach. At Squarepoint, collaboration occurs across all teams, sharing investment ideas and promoting a culture of ownership and accountability. We pride ourselves on our deep expertise across Quantitative Investment Management, Technology and Trading Operations.
As a quantitative investment manager, we are systematic in our approach.
Investments are diversified across multiple asset classes, trading frequencies and global markets. The majority of investments are based on backtests performed on historical market data; however, we are an entrepreneurial group and are always open to new ideas and have a proven track record of bringing new businesses to life.
History
Technology is integral to Squarepoint's success.
We operate at scale, executing millions of trades a day. Complex simulations produced by our Investment team require highly custom, nimble and forward-looking software. Technology is Squarepoint's enabler, creating seamless integration between research and trading in order to capture opportunities quickly.
