About Us
Founded 20 years ago and headquartered in Chicago, the DV Group of financial services firms has grown to more than 600 people operating throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Since spinning out of a large brokerage firm in 2016, DV Trading has rapidly scaled as an independent proprietary trading firm utilizing its own capital, trading strategies, and risk management methodologies to provide liquidity to worldwide financial markets and hedging opportunities to commodity producers and users.
Now, DV group affiliates include two broker dealers, a cryptocurrency market making firm, and a burgeoning investment adviser.
DV Trading is looking for a proven Relative Value Trader who wants the freedom to run capital, scale ideas quickly, and trade on a high-performance proprietary platform. This is an opportunity for a trader who already knows how to generate alpha in correlated products and wants the infrastructure, capital, and autonomy to grow a strategy without the constraints typical of larger institutions.
For the first 3 to 6 months, this role will be based in Chicago to accelerate integration with the team, platform, and trading environment.
