Ashish Kumar

I am a dedicated Quantitative Researcher with over five years of experience in the financial markets, specializing in algorithmic trading and quantitative analysis. My journey began with a strong foundation in Civil Engineering, which I later complemented with an MBA in Finance and Applied Statistics from the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade. This unique blend of technical and analytical skills has enabled me to develop successful trading strategies across various asset classes.

At Qube Research & Technologies, I successfully developed an uncorrelated MFT strategy on hard commodities and livestock, achieving a net PnL of $320,000 within six months. My work involves constructing price models using advanced statistical techniques and collaborating with global teams to drive profitability. I have a proven track record of managing significant fund values and generating substantial returns above benchmarks, showcasing my ability to thrive in high-pressure environments.

Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on leveraging data-driven insights to inform trading decisions. My experience spans various roles, including Market Risk & Operations Analyst at Trafigura, where I built models that generated over $276,000 in profits. I am passionate about continuous learning and innovation in quantitative research, and I am eager to contribute my expertise to a forward-thinking organization.
