Top Skills
What We Do
Belvedere Trading is a leading proprietary trading firm that specializes in equity index and commodity derivatives. Our technology and trading experts collaborate to develop and enhance Belvedere’s high-performance, low-latency proprietary technology. We are always looking for the best and brightest talent to help us in our continued success.
In March of 2002, Belvedere Trading emerged as Chicago’s newest market maker, soon to join the ranks of the Windy City’s elite proprietary trading firms. Armed with printouts of Excel workbooks and a team of eager minds, Belvedere established their place in the SPX pit on the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange.
From the beginning, we began iteratively investing in our proprietary technology, first building our options model, then adapting it to work on a handheld computer, then committing to building our software systems from the ground up. Due to our ultramodern proprietary technology and risk management capabilities, Belvedere is able to quickly capitalize on inefficiencies in the marketplace. Our trading models and software systems are continually re-engineered, optimized, and maintained to stay on top of the industry.
Why Work With Us
At Belvedere, our differences are what allow us to Compete and Succeed at the Highest Level. Our Culture Committee and Women’s Initiative elevate the voices of our teammates to further promote an inclusive workplace. It is our priority to foster a sense of community and belonging for each team member while supporting their individual development.
