OUR EXPERTISE
Five Rivers Global Search specialises in the following five business areas:
Systematic Proprietary Trading

- We’ve also worked on projects to provide seeding capital to prop traders looking to launch their own high-frequency prop trading firms.

Flow Electronic Trading
- We have completed searches for senior and mid-level quantitative researchers, product managers and eTrading salespeople within Automated Market Making and Algorithmic Trading in Equities, FX and Rates.
