Where in New York, Chicago and London Goldman
Sachs, Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase can Find
Quant Talent
Building off of the momentum of past conferences, Golden Networking brings back High Frequency
Trading Leaders Forum 2012, now in New York, Chicago and London (http://www.High-Frequency-
Trading-Conference.com)
(August 20, 2012, New York) Minyanville reports that Goldman Sachs just lost an essential employee when one
of its equities strategists went to Sun Holdings. Was this a one-time deal? Or can we expect more high-frequency
trading firms to hire top talent away from the world's leading banks?
Right now, many of the largest and most well-known HFT firms are adding traders, quantitative analysts,
software developers, and engineers to their staff. Tower Research Capital said that it is always looking for
experienced quantitative traders. The company is also searching for a compliance manager to work with its in-
house Compliance and Legal departments in downtown Manhattan.
That, however, may be just the beginning of Tower Research's hiring initiative. The firm wants to add two
developers (one in quantitative, another in infrastructure) to its London office, which is also on the lookout for
two analysts. On the operations side of the firm, Tower Research is hiring associates in both marketing relations
and business development. Looking ahead, the company is also hiring a tenth associate to work in its Recruiting
and Human Resources team.
Job seekers can turn to Citadel, Jump Trading, Citadel, DRW Trading Group, Rotella Capital Management,
Renaissance Technologies, and Infinium Capital Management for employment opportunities. All those firms are
hiring, though DRW Trading Group easily leads the pack with the most job openings and one of the largest on-
campus recruiting schedules. The company is looking to hire one algorithmic trading researcher, one recruiter,

2. two traders, one fixed income ETF specialist, one desk operations specialist, several engineers, and three trading
analysts (one in New York, one in Chicago, and one in London).
With so many opportunities cropping up outside of banks, it could be a rough road ahead for Goldman Sachs,
Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and other traditional financial institutions. The talent they once held may
soon be headed in another direction, High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2012, this time in three of the
world’s most important financial centers: New York, Chicago and London.
High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2012, How Knight Capital's 'Knightmare on Wall Street' Could
Transform the Regulatory Landscape and Impact Investors, Speed Traders and Brokers", will provide attendees in
New York, Chicago and London with the most up-to-date review of where this ever-changing industry stands and
how new technology and regulatory developments will impact it. Recognized experts, regulators, and strategists,
will return to High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2012 to provide the information practitioners are looking
for in an open and unbiased environment, highly conducive to the most efficient and effective networking.
With insightful keynote speeches and highly regarded panels, everybody involved in high-frequency trading will
gain inside knowledge about the latest technologies that can drastically optimize HFT infrastructures and take a
first look at upcoming regulations that could radically change the HFT firms’ business model. Topics that will be
discussed at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2012 include the movement toward emerging markets,
every time more attuned to the use of bots, the regulatory environment, how new technologies are changing the

how speed traders capture alpha.
