Good Decision Making

SIG has a rigorous and analytical approach to decision making. Making good decisions is fundamental to success in the financial markets and in life. Becoming a good decision maker requires reflection and practice. We provide training and support to help each employee become a better decision maker.

Collaboration

Smart people working together will always come up with a better solution than the lone genius. We design our work environments to promote communication and to keep out unnecessary hierarchy and bureaucracy. Our collective intellect and wisdom are improved through discourse and debate.

Gaming and Poker

SIG’s trading philosophy continues to be based on the application of game theory, statistics, and decision science to make rational decisions in an environment of uncertainty. A highly anticipated event each year is SIG’s annual, firm-wide poker tournament – the tournament presents an opportunity to hone your gaming and decision-making skills while engaging in some friendly competition with your co-workers.

We are Always Learning

Our SIG Speaker Series gives us the opportunity to hear from thought leaders and experts (including our own) across many topics. From professors to chess masters, Todd Sampson to Dr. Sam Roberts, our recent talks have covered expert decision making, persuasion, neuroscience, and the cloud.

More Than Just a Job

If you ask employees why they like SIG, they’ll almost always say the same thing: the people. We like spending time with each other both in and out of the office. We engage in many sports and social activities throughout the year. And each December, every office gets together for a well-deserved year-end celebration.
