What did you do this summer? I worked this summer as an ETF Sales & Capital Markets Intern at quantitative trading firm Susquehanna International Group (SIG). I worked alongside traders, developing tools and performing research to support their market making for ETFs.
What was the most memorable part of your experience? The most memorable part of my summer was when my team took the interns on a day trip to NYC to present to a client, with the day starting with us on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange for the bell ringing at market open.
One thing you have learned during this summer experience? The greatest takeaway I have is that knowing who you are trading against is more important than what you're trading. Understanding your counter-party's motivations, behavior, and goals for the trade is key to correctly pricing risk.
