Hedge fund freedom without hedge fund risk. Major Merchant Energy Trader needs 2-3 senior prop.traders.


PREVIOUS APPLICANT HAS ACCEPTED OFFER
ROLE IS FORMALLY CLOSED
However, 3 months gardening leave creates deal-risk: it could re-open.
In any case, we regularly get similar roles -- if you're interested, let me know.


Power and/or Carbon/Emissions marketmaking + unrestricted global proprietary trading: any commodity/hybrid, any market, any instrument, any strategy.

My client's rapid expansion has created the need for additional senior prop.traders to create liquidity and make/take profits on it.

They ideally want very strong Emissions (so to speak) and very strong Electricity (e.g., Enron, etc), but will consider related trading.

Optionally, the client would like to place several traders under each prop.trader -- this is not necessary if the trader would prefer to work alone.

The prop.trading mandate is genuinely unrestricted. VAR is the only real limit and will be individually negotiated based on track-record and persuasiveness of particular ideas.

The security of a merchant house with the freedom of a hedgefund and the lifestyle of a hedgefund: a beautiful location in Switzerland, on the lake and less than 40minutes from the nearest chairlift.
