Fundamental Equity Analyst

Akuna Capital is an innovative trading firm with a strong focus on collaboration, cutting-edge technology, data driven solutions, and automation. We specialize in providing liquidity as an options market maker – meaning we are committed to providing competitive quotes that we are willing to both buy and sell. To do this successfully, we design and implement our own low latency technologies, trading strategies, and mathematical models.

Our Founding Partners first conceptualized Akuna in their hometown of Sydney. They opened the firm’s first office in 2011 in the heart of the derivatives industry and the options capital of the world – Chicago. Today, Akuna is proud to operate from additional offices in Sydney, Shanghai, London and Singapore.

What you’ll do as a Fundamental Equity Analyst at Akuna:

Akuna's Relative Value desk is one of the firm's newest businesses and its dedicated position-taking desk. While Akuna's core business is providing liquidity, the Relative Value desk takes calculated risk: we express views primarily through volatility positions across index and single-name options, alongside directional exposure, backed by Akuna's proprietary pricing, execution, and data infrastructure.

We are seeking a Fundamental Equity Analyst to own research into company earnings, catalysts, and other news. This is not a reporting seat: your research is a direct input to live positioning, and you will be expected to form views, advocate for trades, and be accountable for the quality of your calls. The ideal candidate has 3-4 years of equity research experience, an appetite for risk, and the ability to thrive in a dynamic, time-sensitive environment. In this role, you will:

• Conduct deep fundamental research on companies, industries, and corporate events to develop differentiated views the desk can trade

• Own the desk's information edge by tracking earnings, guidance, corporate actions, and market-moving news so the desk is informed before it matters
