Early days at QSG, 2019. A small team, real capital, real accountability. Our culture was shaped by doing the work, not by appearances.
About QSG
Quantitative Strategies Group (QSG) is a quantitative trading firm specializing in U.S. equities. Our roots go back to 2012 when our core team began trading together. In 2019 we spun out of a leading proprietary trading firm and formed QSG as an independent operation. We blend intellectual curiosity, disciplined analysis, deep technical skill, and rigorous risk management.
Our culture is built on ownership, accountability, and sustained performance. We empower traders to develop and execute their own ideas within a framework that supports rigorous evaluation and disciplined risk oversight.
A Culture of Ownership and Accountability
At QSG, culture is not about perks, it is about shared standards and collective excellence.
Entrepreneurial Ownership
Traders are evaluated on results and contributions to firm success. Independence is prized, and responsibility over ideas, models, and performance sits squarely with each trader.
Discipline and Integrity
Rigorous risk management, ethical execution, and a commitment to sound decision-making are the foundation of how we operate. Traders are expected to uphold these principles in every strategy they build and deploy.
Performance-Driven Collaboration
Collaboration at QSG is anchored in a shared pursuit of performance. Cross-functional exchange between traders, technologists, and risk experts accelerates insight while preserving individual accountability.
Continuous Improvement, Not Comfort
We invest in technology, data, and shared infrastructure so that traders can focus on insight and execution, not administrative overhead. Learning at QSG is not a curriculum, it is a daily commitment to improvement, grounded in real outcomes and rigorous feedback loops.
We value:
- Honest assessment of work
- Relentless curiosity about markets and models
- Precision under pressure
- Evolving strategies based on measurable evidence
Diversity as a Source of Strength
Our team brings perspectives from around the world, more than 10 countries and a wide range of educational and professional experiences. This diversity fuels deeper analysis and richer strategic exchange.
Culture in Action
Our culture is not abstract. It is reflected in how we:
- Allocate capital based on demonstrated performance
- Communicate expectations clearly to new traders
- Measure success by sustained contribution, not tenure
- Encourage autonomy while maintaining disciplined risk standards
If you thrive in environments that value ownership, continuous refinement, and measurable impact, QSG may be the right fit for you.
