Proprietary trading firms Jane Street, IMC Trading, and Jump Trading are expanding their presence in Hong Kong. Jane Street occupies over 110,000 square feet across six floors in the city, while IMC Trading and Jump Trading are also scaling up their operations. Jump Trading is actively recruiting a statistical arbitrage team in Hong Kong, led by Zoey Zhao, formerly of Citadel Securities, targeting STEM profiles specialized in quantitative research and machine learning. This expansion fits into Jump Trading’s broader global strategy, which operates 13 offices across 8 countries and announced a 99,305 square foot lease for its New York office. The hiring market remains tight in Hong Kong, with a limited pool of qualified candidates available in the electronic trading sector.
