Trading
At Epoch we consider trading the ultimate competitive sport, where the best and brightest in the world come to compete. It takes a growth mindset, teamwork and relentless effort to succeed year in, year out in this infinite game. We excel because our exceptionally talented people have total focus on the team’s objectives.
We trade 24/6 in futures, options, swaps and spot products across a range of asset classes and venues around the world. Our revenues are generated through the systematic application of risk, domain knowledge and mathematical frameworks as well as the backing of stable, risk tolerant capital.
We aspire to be the best in the world at what we do.
Technology
Epoch’s success is built on great ideas implemented through sophisticated technology. Our software engineering and technical operations teams work closely together to create nimble and pragmatic, tailored solutions to the trading challenges we face.
Speed to market is imperative to capture the evolving trading opportunities whilst minimising operational risk. We are always on the hunt for smart people who have a passion for technology and see opportunities where others see problems.
Operations
Our trading can’t happen without the whole team working together toward one vision. Processing millions of trades requires us to be operationally meticulous and we have robust processes in place to support our trading 24/6.
The team succeeds together and we know the role each person plays in achieving our objectives.
Leadership
Michael Humphreys
Founder & CEO
ConnectMy primary responsibility here at Epoch, is to guide and support our team in solving the challenges presented today, in a manner that will develop our ability to solve even greater challenges tomorrow. I’m privileged to be able to work with a collection of intelligent and independent minds, in an environment where open and honest communication, is more important than position, which means I have to be on my game everyday, and am constantly learning from our innovative team. The magic moments happen for me at Epoch when I can help this diverse collection of talented people, come together to develop a solution or strategy that none of us could have come to on our own. Before I found trading, sport was my life, and so I am proud that Epoch’s story has been based on some of the core principles of sporting success; ambition, attention to detail, teamwork and persistence.
