About Symmetry Investments

At Symmetry Investments, we seek to engage in intelligent risk-taking to create value for our clients, partners and employees. We derive our edge from our capacity to generate Win-Wins – in the broadest sense. Win-Win is our fundamental ethical and strategic principle. By generating Win-Wins, we can create unique solutions that reconcile perspectives that are usually seen as incompatible or opposites, and encompass the best that each side has to offer. We integrate fixed-income arbitrage with global macro strategies in a novel way. We invent and develop technology that focuses on the potential of human-machine integration. We build systems where machines do what they do best, supporting people to do what people do best. We are creating a collaborative meritocracy: a culture where individual contribution serves both personal and collective goals - and is rewarded accordingly. We value both ownership thinking AND cooperative team spirit, self-realization AND community. Symmetry is a global investment company with offices in Hong Kong and London. We have been in business since 2014 after successfully spinning off from a major New York-based hedge fund. Careers At Symmetry we believe that man-machine integration is not only the question at the heart of future competitiveness in the markets but also of crucial importance for society as a whole. We are interested in candidates who are inspired and excited by the challenge of participating in developing a new approach at the leading edge. We are looking for men and women on both a permanent and contractual basis. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and levels of experience. We are looking for solution-oriented people who raise problems when they see them, and take the initiative in working with the right people across the firm to solve them. We like people who are capable of letting a problem simmer when needed - and are able to tolerate uncertainty until all pieces of the puzzle fall into place. We support individualists who have an inner need to excel at what they do and are capable of, and value, collaborative work. We appreciate rare talent that, because of its uniqueness, might be undervalued in a more conventional corporate setting. We value people who ask first - what is the right thing to do for our investors and the company, and only second, how am I going to explain this to my boss. We value people who can think like entrepreneurs - as co-owners of the business - and develop creative solutions to solve our challenges, and who will get their hands dirty if necessary in making sure solutions are well executed to generate value for our investors. For the right fit, we commit to our employees by creating Win-Wins with their own long term aspirations. http://symmetryinvestments.com/careers
