About Us

Symmetry Investments is a global investment company with offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, London, Jersey and Cayman Islands. We have been in business since 2014 after successfully spinning off from a major New York-based hedge fund.

At Symmetry Investments, we seek to engage in intelligent risk-taking to create value for our clients, partners and employees. We derive our edge from our capacity to generate Win-Wins - in the broadest sense. Win-Win is our fundamental ethical and strategic principle. By generating Win-Wins, we can create unique solutions that reconcile perspectives that are usually seen as incompatible or opposites, and encompass the best that each side has to offer:
We integrate fixed-income arbitrage with global macro strategies in a novel way.

We invent and develop technology that focuses on the potential of human-machine integration.

We build systems where machines do what they do best, supporting people to do what people do best.

We are creating a collaborative meritocracy: a culture where individual contribution serves both personal and collective goals - and is rewarded accordingly.

We value both ownership thinking AND cooperative team spirit, self-realization AND community.

As the firm grows there is a need to add a new role in the Asia time zone. The role will integrate two important aspects for the firm;
Helping to manage the risk for equity single names trading in the Asian time zone which currently includes Greater China and Japan with expansion to other countries in the near future.

1. Support risk processes for the whole firm across all asset classes and trading styles.

2. There are numerous other projects that we’d expect the individual to be able to pick up (in time), as the team is global in nature and not siloed by region.

Symmetry has a very flat hierarchy and the role will report to the Head of Risk Management based in London.

Market Knowledge

In addition, the primary focus of the role will be to provide a framework to understand and communicate both the aggregated and idiosyncratic risks of equity portfolios.

Programming Skills

The risk team uses an inhouse programming language which is relatively easy to pick up however decent programming skills are required. It should however be noted that this is not a dev role, and there is an expectation that core high value work would be passed on to a skilled developer.

The role will include support of the firm's global risk processes. Initially with the help and guidance from the rest of the team there is the expectation that the individual will learn how to fix problems on the fly after a short time at the firm.

Communication Skills

Symmetry is very much about collaboration. That means that everybody needs to have a flexible mindset. It is understood that an individual might not know every single detail for a project, so it is expected that they ask others to arrive at the best solution.
