Nico Schlaefer — Co-Founder

I co-founded Nova Prospect with the ambition to build a new leader in systematic trading. We derive our edge from lean but powerful research and trading infrastructure that enables rapid innovation, and incredibly talented researchers and developers who work closely together towards a common goal. We are committed to ensuring that every team member can make substantial contributions and benefit from our rapid growth, and are proud of our collaborative, zero-politics culture. Please reach out if you are interested in joining us - we are hiring for our offices in Miami and Singapore. Before launching Nova Prospect, I was Head of Equities Riskbook at Citadel Securities. I built out one of the leading Statistical Arbitrage trading businesses in the equities markets, and a team of Quantitative Researchers and Quantitative Developers that is second to none. Prior to that, I worked with IBM Research on the Watson system, an automatic question answering system that competed on the Jeopardy! TV show and defeated the all-time best human players.
