Investment partners · Equities

You run your own portfolio of the firm's money, buying shares in smaller and mid-sized European companies you expect to rise and betting against those you expect to fall. The seat is portfolio manager for European SMID cap equities. SMID is short for small and mid cap, which describes companies by the total value of their shares on the stock market, and equities is another word for shares. What you build is a long-short portfolio, one that holds some shares and bets against others.

You sit in Maven Investment Partners, the part of Maven Securities that hands the firm's own money to portfolio managers who each run a strategy of their own. You make every investment decision in your portfolio and answer for the risk in every position. The firm sets central limits on risk and gives you shared technology and operations, so you trade on your own judgement inside them.
