Company Description
Marshall Wace is a leading provider of alternative investment solutions.
Operating as a single team across the globe, we are dedicated to creating long-term relationships with our clients built on trust and integrity. We define our culture as one of continuous innovation and a quest for improvement. We instinctively strive to do things differently, with fresh thinking that we believe enables us to create proprietary value and maximise the benefits to our clients.
We manage quantitative, systematic and fundamental strategies, specialising predominantly in long/short equity. Our strategies are implemented globally, leveraging proprietary systems and processes.
Our quantitative teams are made up of talented individuals with specialisations in a range of subjects including maths, physics, statistics, engineering and computer science. They’re responsible for conceptualising, developing and analysing models for use in our quantitative and systematic strategies as well as our electronic trading processes. They look to reduce risk and cost while maximising returns. They have access to a wealth of tools designed to help them build complex models with ease.

We welcome applications from masters and PhD students in a highly quantitative discipline. You are likely to have a research scientist mind-set and be among the top students at your university. Our programme is also appropriate for candidates with up to 2 or 3 years of relevant post-graduate experience.
