Hedge fund Jain Global is hiring quants in London. 1 hour ago Bobby Jain's hedge fund, Jain Global, is in the habit of hiring '35-year-old killers'. It's also in the habit of hiring quants; the fund has brought in multiple quants in recent months with a particular focus on London. Paul Woodward joined Jain in London this month as a senior quantitative developer after three years at Citadel. Woodward has completed the trifecta of quant roles already; he was a quant researcher at ExodusPoint before joining Citadel, and a quant strategist at Morgan Stanley before that. It also hired Alexander Kazantsev as a senior quant researcher. He's a Russia-educated PhD mathematician who previously worked at WorldQuant which, like Jain Global, has roots at hedge fund Millennium. Most recently, he was a quant research analyst at hedge fund Graham Capital. Jain Global's quant leadership appears to be concentrated in London. The city is home to Anton Merluskin, head of quant modelling and analytics for Jain. He's another Russia-educated quant who spent a collective 25 years at Credit Suisse across two stints, separated by a short spell at ill-fated hedge fund Eisler Capital. Peter Bolland, a former Morgan Stanley MD and CIO for quantitative strategies at Jain, is also London-based. Jain is still a very young hedge fund. 2025 was only its first full year of trading, in which it posted modest returns of ~3.7%. Bobby Jain said on a podcast earlier this year that, alongside experience, more data will improve things; bolstering its quant ranks may help Jain Global put said data to good use.

The TRADE > News > Data > ExeQution Analytics rolls out AI assistant to eliminate trading 'hallucinations' ExeQution Analytics rolls out AI assistant to eliminate trading 'hallucinations' The new offering - Eolas - is designed to stamp out fabricated data and rogue AI responses, to provide traders and heads of desks with real-time insights to drive best execution and resolve issues quickly. Specialist trading analytics firm, ExeQution Analytics, has launched a new AI assistant designed to enhance trading decisions and data analysis. The new tool - called Eolas - is designed to be 'hallucination-resistant', meaning that the system has been created to reduce and prevent any margin of error which may fabricate or 'hallucinate' responses, with results drawn from a firm's market or proprietary data instead. Moreover, the offering is aimed specifically at trading, quant and IT teams, to support them in extracting greater value from real-time and historical data through interrogation and powering best execution. The tool will also deliver support at a senior level and will provide heads of trading with a helicopter view of the desk, to help them manage the trading floor, as well as quickly resolve issues at a deeper issue the moment they occur. "Eolas essentially removes all the bottlenecks firms grapple with around data," said Cat Turley, chief executive of ExeQution Analytics. "It allows anyone involved in the trading function to speak directly to the data source, in natural language - and for the data to speak back." In addition, Eolas is set to remove the burden of constant ad-hoc requests for data and regular reporting often felt by trading teams, and will allow for a greater focus on higher value work and quick data interaction. The new offering is also expected to bolster compliance and risk through direct access to data that highlights risk or informs teams about rule and regulation adherence. Turley added: "The largest data set and most powerful analytics engine in the world is of limited use if only a few people can access it." "Eolas is the next generation of trading intelligence, a true democratisation of data that can match the speed of insight to the speed of markets for the very first time."
