Accountant

Electronic trading for Fixed Income Commodities and Currencies was not efficient- The journey to intelligent execution began when Dr. Robert Almgren and Christian Hauff while working together at a major bank concluded that fixed income traders were lacking efficient technology solutions, quantitative execution, and cost measurement tools which had been so valuable for the equity markets.

So our founders set out to create something different —After 2 years of R&D, Quantitative Brokers (QB) was born and executed its first client trade. Since then, QB has helped further democratize access, enhance workflow and transparency for our clients.
