Schonfeld History
Who We Are
Schonfeld Strategic Advisors is a multi-manager platform
that invests its capital with Internal and Partner portfolio
managers, primarily on an exclusive or semi-exclusive basis,
across quantitative, fundamental equity and tactical trading
strategies. We have created a unique structure to provide
global portfolio managers with autonomy, flexibility and
support to best enable them to maximize the value of their
businesses.
Over the last 30 years, Schonfeld has successfully capitalized
on inefficiencies and opportunities within the equity
markets. We have developed and invested heavily in
proprietary technology, infrastructure and risk analytics. Our
portfolio exposure has expanded across the Americas,
Europe and Asia as well as multiple asset classes and
products. We look for ways to align the interests of
investors, investment professionals and the firm, highlighted
by the opportunity for investment professionals to co-invest
in our funds and their individual strategies.

4. Quantitative Strategies
Schonfeld manages an industry leading systematic trading platform. We focus on building long term
partnerships with extraordinarily talented individuals to promote rigorous and innovative quantitative
research. Schonfeld provides our trading teams with cutting edge technology, market & alternative market
data and the operational support required to construct sustainable investment strategies. In addition, the
investment teams generally have the ability to own and retain their track records and the intellectual
property they develop. Our teams concentrate primarily on short to intermediate-term and automated global
trading strategies. We continue to hire investment teams to drive Schonfeld's international growth and
investment strategy diversity within our statistical and index arbitrage portfolios. Our strategies span multiple
asset classes, including Equities, FX and Futures.
Investment Strategies

Fundamental Equity
As a complement to our quantitative strategies, Schonfeld continues to make significant investments in the
fundamental equity business. Our platform offers opportunities both externally, within the Partner fund
structure, and on the Internal platform. The Partner fund structure allows portfolio managers to run their
independent investment advisors, anywhere in the world, with the support of Schonfeld's expertise across
risk, compliance, business development, trading, operations and advisory services. The Internal platform
affords portfolio managers and analysts the ability to sit within a collaborative environment and focus
exclusively on the investment process. Schonfeld's aim is to preserve autonomy and flexibility across both
structures while offering comprehensive support to fundamental portfolio managers.
Tactical Trading
Schonfeld employs a diverse set of long volatility investment models designed to broaden the portfolio and
enhance returns. Models include equity capital markets, event driven, index rebalancing and short-term
trading. We equip our teams with sophisticated technology, including order entry platforms, trading tools and
trading strategies and techniques to meet the unique needs of their active trading styles. Tactical trading has
become a core part of our ability to create orthogonal and uncorrelated returns.

5. Some Helpful Tips
Setting the scene
Refer to your email confirmation
for date, start time, and any video
conferencing log in information that
has been sent to you.
Frame your background: See
what’s behind you – no inappropriate
pictures, washrooms, dressing rooms,
etc.
Keep distractions (pets, kids etc.)
at bay.
Camera angle & zoom: Position
your camera so the view is from your
upper arms up-not zoomed in on your
face.

During your interview
Our dress code is business casual. Wear
what you feel is appropriate and comfortable.
You should expect to interview with 2 – 5
people for 45 – 60 minutes each. Each
interviewer will have a different focus area so
we get a holistic view of you.
If interviewing for an engineering
position, you likely will be tested on coding and
problem solving. This can consist of virtual
whiteboarding and/or a live codepair session.
*Our internal teams develop in Java, C++ and Python,
but we are open to OO languages.
Even though you’re at home, should you
need to use the restroom, ask at any time.

Be thoughtful. Think about your response and ask clarifying questions, if
needed.

unrelated tangents.

to feedback. We may throw a wrench in the question to see how you adapt.
Prepare. Know your story, your impact, lessons you’ve learned, your
successes and failures.
Come with questions. We want you leaving knowing as much about us as we
hope to learn about you.
