UBS is renowned for its ability to provide liquidity, speed, accuracy and discretion in executing complex trades in all global markets. The world’s biggest trader of equity securities (Autex 2006), we own what is thought to be the world’s largest trading floor at our office in Stamford, CT, accommodating up to 1,400 traders in a single space.

Our traders have the advantages of up to the minute research, superior technology and strong counterparty relationships to complement their talents for processing information, identifying opportunities and making split-second decisions to drive business and generate revenues.

As market conditions have changed in recent years, UBS has moved with the times by increasing risk appetite. Our traders have therefore been able to pursue bolder and more aggressive strategies in the market.

The emphasis we place on client focus and relationship building means that the bulk of our trading activity is client related. However, there are also opportunities to take proprietary positions in the course of normal business. Those who are interested in this type of trading might wish to consider joining a dedicated prop desk, quantitative trading strategy or algorithmic trading team.

Our fast-paced global business provides a range of career development opportunities. Within the Investment Bank, traders work in Equities, Fixed Income and Money Markets, Currencies and Commodities (MCC).

Our Equities business is a global market leader, offering a comprehensive and constantly expanding choice of equity and equity-linked products to corporates, institutional investors, hedge funds and also private clients through our Wealth Management business.

Fixed Income and MCC deliver a broad range of fixed income products and solutions to corporates and institutional clients, including wealth managers, in all major markets.

Whichever market, area and desk you choose, you will be able to extend your skills in a supportive and team oriented environment. Our culture of performance will recognize and reward your individual contribution to our collective success.
