Schonfeld Group

heard that they house both real prop traders and arcade-type prop traders..how does that work

 

checked their website.

does anyone know briefly how do the Quant Managers and L/S Managers programs work?

 

after some googling, it seems that Schonfeld works similar to a seed capital provider to promising fund managers.

 

Seems very interesting model:
