From Systematic Trading to Structural Ed...

Paul Chapman, HC Group
About this episode

What actually is systematic trading and the capabilities behind it? How can it generate returns? How can it inform the broader trading desks and organization's decision making? How is it delivering a competitive advantage and strategic edge to companies behind those returns? What have been the developments over the last couple of years? And how is such trading shaping the markets themselves? Our guest is Hans Balgobin, who has had a career as a systematic trader and building systematic trading platforms both in equities and energy, with the likes of HSBC, Shell and Millennium and is now joining Uniperin a systematic trading role. His views expressed herein represent his own and not those of any organization.
