   NZ Proprietary trading firms

   Just thought I would put out some feelers incase my research/assumptions are wrong.

   Im about to graduate uni this year and am wanting to get into trading equities/futures for a firm similar to smbcapital.com

   Now from what I have found there are no such firms in NZ? or are there?? as my closet options are Aus, which has 4 firms (2 being market makers however) then HK. Off course there is the US and EU but its a bit far if there are as good opportunities on this side of the globe.

   If anybody does know of any prop firms in NZ that would be great and I would appreciate a contact number/link

   Thanks in advance.

   there are no firms like this in NZ or Australia. Prop trading is dead.

   If you want to get into hedge funds you will need to start out as an investment banker or as an investment analyst - these jobs are incredibly scarce the world over and the competition is very high. Perhaps reconsider a more realistic career path or if you are really serious - read up on wallstreetoasis.com

   My advice would be do accounting - boring as hell but solid and easy to get work

   Works fantastic in a rising market.

   Imagine having bought DIL (up about 80% this year) on huge leverage. I am sure others could suggest even better past investment (with hindsight).

   There is a NZ company which trades on the major Futures exchanges. It is looking to offer a 3m internship that would train a volunteer to trade and place orders periodically throughout the day. The intern would be initially unpaid but remuneratation would be based upon future performance. Send me a PM of interest with your background.
