Akuna Capital is a derivatives
trading firm headquartered in downtown Chicago that specializes in market
making and arbitrage. Akuna started with
five employees in 2011 and we now have over 140. In 2014 we grew by 84%,
opening our first international office in Shanghai. Our founders remain a
strong part of the company and work alongside junior members, building Akuna together.
We compete directly with the largest market making and arbitrage firms in the
world. We develop our own software strategies, algorithms, and models. We also
have floor traders so we are not entirely an electronic firm. We have no
clients and trade only using the firm’s own money from its partners. We use
cutting-edge technology to build our low latency platform. Unlike other firms,
we do not have legacy code and are therefore able to implement new strategies
to be more agile in the creation of our trading systems. Other trading firms
keep their quant, development, and trading teams very separate.
