IMC trades a wide range of financial instruments, in many different ways. This means we look for different types of traders; from the quantitative minds who enjoy the mathematical side of trading to more operationally focused personalities who thrive on interacting with brokers over the phone.
Our traders share one thing in common, though: they are at their best when solving complex problems. Their insights into global events, market shifts and pricing ensure we always trade in the right place, at the right time.
Your IMC journey begins with a seven-week global trading traineeship led by our seasoned traders, quants and technologists, during which you’ll link up with graduates from all three IMC regions.
