Flow Traders Case Study

Hey all,

I am currently on the final round of the Flow Traders interview process which is their case study. I was wondering if anybody had any experience with the interview and if they could shed some insight on it. I have foraged the internet and have only found that it includes some ETF hedging (proportion calculations), arbitrage calculations, and prepping these calculations to present to a senior trader. I'd love to hear anyone's experience with the assessment. Thanks all.

 

Thank you for the insight! If I could ask you a few questions, is the math difficulty similar to what you see on their initial math test? Would you recommend me study more on the concepts of ETF hedging and arbitrage (I already have academic experience with hedging and arbitrage, but not necessarily with ETF hedging) or just practicing hedging calculations?

 

Hi, I’m about to have the same case study interview next week. Would you mind sharing the overall process about the on-site interview? Such as, how long would it be, would you allow to use pen and papers, and what types of questions will be asked?

Much appreciated!

Any help on this would be hugely appreciated!

 

I will also be doing the case study but virtually.

What kind of hedging calculations does it involve? Will it be about calculating how much of each underlying constituent to hedge or calculating implied liquidity of the ETF based on underlying liquidity etc.?

Thanks in advance for the insight :)
