Philosophy

Working collaboratively is at the very heart of Squarepoint's success.

Our teams talk to each other, share ideas, and broaden our knowledge together. We also use collaborative technologies that allow us to be efficient and we take decisions collectively, after careful consideration.

Pragmatic

Our pragmatic approach means we're realistic and practical about our work. We are commercially minded and remain focused on the work at hand without getting distracted. As a result, we are able to give you the space to question your work and ensure your research is ever evolving.

Inquisitive

As a research firm operating in an ever changing market, we recognize the importance of not sitting back. We remain inquisitive to keep abreast of quickly evolving data, information, and industry changes. We look ahead, anticipate new trends and are constantly developing better ideas and solutions to keep up with the rapid pace of change.

Flat structure for better collaboration and mentorship

Our flat organizational structure means you'll often see spontaneous huddles, rather than formal meetings. This encourages collaboration and allows us to present a considered view. You will have access to leadership often at the founder level.

The ideas and inspiration come from our highly talented individuals, whose personal initiative and creative flair we reward. But bringing these to fruition is always a collaborative effort across teams and departments.

Invested in each other

Our people are our most important asset, and they are invested in each other's success. We encourage them to share their successes and failures, to learn from them and to support each other.

Disclosures

COMMITMENT TO THE UK STEWARDSHIP CODE - Under Rule 2.2.3R of the Financial Conduct Authority's (“FCA”) Conduct of Business Sourcebook, Squarepoint Capital LLP (“Squarepoint UK LLP” or “the Firm”), to the extent it is managing investments for a professional client (as defined by the FCA), is required to include a disclosure about the nature of its commitment to the UK Financial Reporting Council's Stewardship Code (the "Code") or, where it does not commit to the Code, explain its considered choice based on the Firm’s investment approach. The Code is a voluntary code and sets out a number of principles relating to engagement by investors in UK-listed companies.

Squarepoint UK LLP invests in a broad range of asset classes on a predominantly systematic basis in a variety of jurisdictions globally and exposure to UK-listed issuers is, as a result, likely to be relatively limited in terms of overall exposure at any given point. Therefore, whilst Squarepoint UK LLP generally supports the objectives that underlie the Code, the nature of its investment strategy would mean that it is not practical for it to formally engage with investee companies on a voluntary basis in any particular jurisdiction through the exercise of its voting rights. The Firm has therefore chosen not to commit to the Code at this time.

Shareholder Rights Directive (SRD II)

SRD II aims to promote effective stewardship and long term investment decision making. It sets requirements in several areas, including transparency of engagement policies and investment strategies across the institutional investment community.

Under Rule 2.2B.5R of the Financial Conduct Authority's (“FCA”) Conduct of Business Sourcebook, and with respect to investment activity in shares admitted to trading on regulated markets in the EEA, or on comparable regulated markets outside the EEA, Squarepoint Capital LLP “Squarepoint UK LLP” or “the Firm”) is required to either

1. develop and publicly disclose an “Engagement Policy” providing details of how the Firms investment strategies and shareholder engagement activities, and their implementation, contribute towards the medium and long term performance of the assets of the fund; or

2. publicly disclose a clear and reasoned explanation of why it has chosen not to comply with any of the requirements under this rule

As Squarepoint UK LLP has a quantitative and systematic trading approach, the nature of its investment strategy would mean that it is not practical for it to formally engage with investee companies and carry out shareholder engagement activities. The Firm has therefore chosen not to implement an Engagement Policy at this time.
