Quant trading is one of the most secretive, and highest-paying, industries in finance. But how do quant firms actually make money, and why can graduate traders earn six figures straight out of university? As a former quant trader and hedge fund analyst, I break down how quantitative trading firms really work, from market making and statistical arbitrage to the strategies, risks, salaries, and interviews behind the industry. We’ll look at firms including Jane Street, Citadel Securities, Optiver, Two Sigma, D. E. Shaw, Renaissance Technologies, and AQR to understand the different business models used across quantitative finance. If you're interested in quant trading, hedge funds, algorithmic trading, quantitative finance, market making, or becoming a quant trader, this video gives you an inside look at an industry that is notoriously difficult to understand from the outside.
