[Hiring] Quantitative Trader @Savoia Investments LLC

Role Description

Separately managed account under our fund. This is an allocation, not a funded account.

If you have not traded live with real money and cannot produce a broker-verifiable track record, this is not for you. Do not apply. Backtests, paper accounts, simulated results, and prop firm evaluation records do not count and will not be reviewed.

We are looking for traders who run their own systematic models live, with their own edge, and have the record to prove it works.

Structure

• Separately managed account under the fund, with limited trading authorization.
• Your strategy, our capital, our infrastructure.
• Initial allocation is sized to your strategy's demonstrated capacity, not to a fixed number.
• Capital scales with performance and risk discipline. There is no ceiling.
• Payout as a percentage of P&L. No salary, no cap on the upside.
• Your strategy remains yours. We do not take ownership of your IP.
• Fully remote.

What we trade

We are deliberately narrow. Our infrastructure, risk systems, and prime brokerage are built for US listed markets, and we allocate only to strategies that run inside them.

• In scope:
  • US listed equities
  • US listed equity and index options
  • US listed futures
• Not in scope right now:
  • Crypto, spot or derivatives
  • FX
  • Fixed income and credit
  • OTC or non-US listed instruments
  • Multi-asset or mixed-book strategies that span more than one of the categories above

Frequency

• Mid and low frequency. Holding periods from intraday-to-close through multi-week.
• We do not allocate to HFT, latency-sensitive, or co-location dependent strategies.

Minimum requirements

• Live trading with real capital, monthly returns, broker-verifiable.
• Max drawdown at or under 15 percent.
• Live Sharpe at or above 1.0.
• Gross leverage at or under 2x.
• Systematic and documented. You can explain the edge, why it exists, and why it persists.
• You are the one who built and runs it.

• Track record length depends on strategy type:
  • Market neutral, or SPX correlation under 0.3: 12 months
  • Directional: 24 months

Eligibility

• Managers must be able to be onboarded to a US separately managed account structure.
• Placement is subject to KYC and AML screening, sanctions screening, and a jurisdictional review of your tax residency and, where applicable, your trading entity's domicile.

How to apply

• Send:
  • Tearsheet with monthly returns.
  • One-page strategy summary.
  • Written confirmation that you will permit third-party broker verification.
• Applications without a tearsheet will not be reviewed.
