"I came to Graham right out of college- I had very little understanding about the firm or the broader industry. My background was not in finance but rather in creative writing – which I think speaks to Graham’s open-minded approach to hiring. The firm seeks unique talent and work ethic, and values contribution over simple pedigree. Over my 14-year tenure with the firm, Graham has succeeded in maintaining a small firm feel, family-like and collaborative culture while developing the infrastructure necessary to support the business and investors."

"Time really flies when you are having fun. I have been working at Graham for more than 15 years, yet it feels much shorter. During these years, I have worked in different roles with growing responsibilities within the Financial Reporting department. I am thankful for the trust and support given to me. The experiences I have gained are irreplaceable and invaluable to my career growth. My work never becomes mundane. Instead, each day presents new challenges to conquer and provides new opportunities to learn. I truly enjoy working with so many intelligent and dedicated people in such a friendly environment."

"I started working at Graham just after finishing my PhD in physics. Transitioning directly from academia, it's hard to imagine a better environment. The research team is varied and growing, with experts from all areas of pure and applied mathematics, engineering, physics, and other fields. On a daily basis, I get to work on challenging and subtle problems, where we're bringing to bear modern statistical and machine learning methods. Compared with academia, the pace is faster, and the ability to be directly involved with every step of the systematic trading process – from the design to the implementation and execution of our models – gives you a unique attachment to the fruits of your labor."

"I joined Graham in March 2016, coming from a Quantitative Analyst role in investment banking, and having decided that a smaller firm in a more specialized area of finance would better suit my interests. After just 6 months here, I can say that I really enjoy the environment and the work: people are smart and friendly with very diverse backgrounds, and I have the opportunity to focus on reading research in the field, coding, and learning new techniques for extracting and exploiting insights from data. I had been told that the grass is most likely not greener on the other (buy) side - but I am glad to say that in this instance it certainly is!"

"I have been a PM at Graham for nearly ten years. I feel that ten years in the same seat is a rare occurrence in this industry. Many of my colleagues across the broader investment community have had four or five jobs in the same time span. Yet, there are several portfolio managers at Graham who can boast the same tenure or longer. While of course there is normal turnover at Graham, the fact that a group of us have had such stability in a turbulent investment environment speaks volumes about the culture of Graham. There are no huge personalities dominating the investment process. The platform, while always hungry for more alpha, has been stable during various market cycles. Management has been incredibly encouraging in letting my investment process develop and evolve over the years. I believe that if I hadn’t been given the freedom to adapt with the market, I may not have survived recent market cycles. Pretty much every tool and support is provided to the PMs seamlessly. Lastly, there is a strong conviviality among the PMs. While, at times, I could have the exact opposite position as a colleague, we can discuss our rationale for the position and try to help one another. I believe these attributes make Graham a very unique and great work environment.”

"One of the things that makes Graham unique is our dedication to the professional growth of our people. Internal training, involvement in industry wide events and every day on-the-job mentoring all combine to provide an environment where people can set goals for their professional development and then receive the necessary support to the reach those goals. Throughout my career at Graham, the firm has provided me the opportunities to continually learn new things and be involved in so many different aspects of our business. From helping manage the operational complexities of trading in a diverse universe of financial instruments, to being part of our ongoing developmental efforts to build and maintain the best processes and internal controls, each day brings a new opportunity for professional growth and a chance to contribute to the overall success of our firm. As a member of the firm’s Investment, Risk and Compliance committees, I feel I am in a position to add value to our firm and our clients. I also enjoy the role I play in helping the firm attract and retain the best talent by applying a thoughtful approach to the management of our people and their careers."
