Fundamental Alpha Researcher (Usa)

Trexquant is a systematic hedge fund where we use thousands of statistical algorithms to trade equity, futures and other markets globally. Starting with many data sets, we develop large sets of features and use various machine learning methods to discover trading signals and effectively combine them into market-neutral portfolios. Our Fundamental Alpha Research team is a small collaborative team working to create new alphas.
