Buy-Side Traders

Our first-ever Traders Gold Book — a Who's Who guide of prominent buy-side traders — offers a glimpse of what it is like on these traders' desks. The pages that follow provide an in-depth understanding of how the traders' desks are structured, the technology they use, the algorithms they employ, how they direct order flow, in which markets they trade, their visions for future of trading and much more.

Hedge Fund Head Traders

This year we focused our Gold Book on hedge fund head traders -- who, in many cases, also are the founders, directors and CEOs of their firms. The 2007 honorees take an alternative view from the more-traditional asset management firms when it comes to technology and algorithms, and often, this is their edge. They build internally and develop algorithms independently. They trade all asset classes all around the world, and whenever they can, they trade electronically. The profiles that follow open a window into the fascinating world of hedge funds.
