Research Technology
Our broad spectrum of quantitative trading strategies are underpinned by robust, modern technology – from market data acquisition and initial research through to model implementations and trade execution.
Discretionary trading experts need personalised data and analytics at their fingertips through intuitive, responsive UIs. Our research-embedded teams work side-by-side with Man Group’s investment specialists - collaborating on their models, implementing their code and building lasting, robust trading systems.
Execution
Our execution engineers, in partnership with Man Group's alpha generators and dedicated execution research team, strive to maximise the preservation of alpha throughout the investment process.
We bring together expertise from across the different investment managers to facilitate a blend of human and electronic execution, on a global trading desk, with advanced execution algos and technology.
Data Science
Man Data Science is a data specialist team that is dedicated to the rapid sourcing and provisioning of data and analytics to facilitate investment decisions for all investment teams. We aim to keep investment data as a key priority across Man Group, aiming to avoid duplication of effort and increase the usage of alternative data across investment engines to generate alpha for our clients.
Community
Alpha Technology are committed to the open-source community, and regularly go live with our own work. You can find the full list of our open-source contributions on the Alpha Technology GitHub.
We host monthly PyData and Machine Learning meetups and have run regular Hackathon and Coding Competitions, alongside frequent external conferences.
Internally, our Catalyst program allows employees from all teams to get involved with firm-wide projects outside of their day-to-day work, whilst regular ‘Velocity’ days provide time to work on projects outside of normal scope.
Finally, our annual offsite provides an opportunity to network and learn with minds from across the team – as well as being a great social event.
