Last week, over 1,000 of us came together for the first-ever globally broadcast Quarterly Update. Our co-founders and partners reflected on QRT’s founding pillars, long-term ambitions, and celebrated the spirit that drives us.   This milestone event united colleagues across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, reinforcing the collaborative and innovative culture at the core of QRT. Together, we’re shaping the future with shared vision and collective success!

We’ve just completed several campus events across Asia and we were impressed by your energy and enthusiasm! A big thank you to the universities below and students who joined us National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University Singapore, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Shanghai JiaoTong University Science Park, Fudan International School of Finance, The University of Hong Kong, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. We are also particularly grateful to those who travelled from other cities and even overseas to attend.

Our interns had the opportunity to visit the London Stock Exchange for an insightful morning. The visit began with the opening ceremony, where the countdown and atmosphere enhanced the experience of witnessing the market open promptly at 8:00 a.m. Following this, they explored the Exchange’s rich history, its role within the global financial system, and observed a demonstration of its data platform. For many, it was their first glimpse of the global financial markets in action, offering a fresh perspective on the industry’s daily operations. A big thank you to LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) team for hosting us!

Promoting and supporting the growth of mathematical and scientific knowledge is a shared passion between QRT and the Institut Henri Poincaré (IHP), an esteemed French institution that has been fostering scientific interactions at the highest international level for nearly a century.   👉 Check out the upcoming IHP programme on Random Tensors (link in comment) Random Tensors are expected to play an increasingly significant role in many areas of mathematics, physics, and computer science. Starting at the end of September, the international programme on Random Tensors will bring researchers together in Paris to explore the connections between their various approaches, tools, and results.   The QRT Foundation is proud to support the Institut Henri Poincaré and the Fonds de dotation de l'Institut Henri Poincaré in this programme and is also committed to advancing diversity in science by supporting three exceptional women.

Our 2025 Intern and Graduate opportunities are now open for applications!   Whether you’re an undergraduate, master’s, or PhD student, we have a range of internships available across Research, Trading, Technology, and Data. 👉 Apply on our Career page (link in comment)   We hope to meet you soon in one of our ten global offices, each offering a unique environment for growth and collaboration.

Last week, we kicked off our first virtual Coding Escape Game, bringing together QRT’s interns from around the globe.   This challenge wasn't just about solving puzzles; it was a fantastic opportunity to connect with peers across various regions and departments. Our interns experienced firsthand and proved that collaboration is the key to success! We followed up the virtual thrill with local in-person gatherings over food and drinks.   A heartfelt thank you to everyone who brought their energy and teamwork to the table!

As the Olympic and Paralympic Games inspire excitement and respect across the globe, all our QRT offices have quietly embraced the sporting spirit. 11,970 km! This is the distance between two of our furthest offices: Shanghai and London. Between February and November, over 200 of us have taken up the Ultra Transcontinental QRT Challenge (UTQC) of running in teams, with the ambitious goal of collectively covering this equivalent distance. The first teams are about to reach the goal… go, go, go! In addition, over the past months, we have participated in padel tennis or bowling tournaments, sailing excursions, as well as group hikes or runs- some for charity, such as the JPM Corporate Challenge in London, or the Inclusive Olympic Games with Entourage in Paris- and others simply to stay active and bond with colleagues.

We celebrated 2024 UN World Chess Day with our thrilling Chess Grand Final ♟️! After a month of intense local tournaments, we proudly gathered the winners at our London headquarters. Our top 10 champions—hailing from Vietnam, Singapore, India, Romania, Germany, France, Ireland and Morocco—united for an extraordinary simultaneous chess match against the legendary grandmaster and greatest female player of all time, Judit Polgar! Chess embodies strategic thinking, humility, and mutual respect—values that resonate and align perfectly with QRT's philosophy and culture. A huge thanks to Judit Polgar for her benevolence and generosity (even though she defeated all our champions 😉), and a special appreciation goes to England chess team captain Malcolm Pein for his assistance in organising the event and offering tips to our players. Here’s to many more events that challenge and inspire us all! https://lnkd.in/dH7DbpPe

We’ve just had an eventful and action-packed week with our talented interns from Mumbai, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Shanghai!

Looking forward to more great moments as we continue to grow together.
