Performance & Opportunity.
Our Ethos
We exist to deliver superior returns, but do so with a social conscience. Every process, structure and decision inside the firm is built to serve those goals. No distractions, just clear objectives, values, incentives and a positive working culture firm-wide.
Our Mission and Values.
Our mission is to be a high-performing trading firm whilst adhering to the highest ethical standards and providing opportunities to the best trading talent.
Professional Integrity
We hold ourselves to the highest standards in how we trade, how we think, and how we carry ourselves. Every action reflects from admin to our desks.
No Conflicts of Interest
We are a true proprietary trading firm and don’t profit from trader failure or operate a B-book model. Every trader is backed with real capital allocations.
Single Desk Mentality
We operate as one unified team, not competing pods or lone operators. We share ideas, challenge each other, and grow together.
Continuous Development
We invest in our traders as long-term business partners. From the Incubator to a senior seat, we support continuous personal and career development.
Social Responsibility.
Beyond Markets
Whether it’s minimising our footprint, supporting financial literacy initiatives, or giving back to communities around our trading floors, we recognise the role a modern trading firm can play.
Matched Giving Scheme.
We match charitable donations made by SFX employees and traders to verified causes, encouraging a culture of personal responsibility and generosity within the firm.
Digital-First, Paper-Light.
We operate a digital-first model across our infrastructure and locations, reducing printing, paper, packaging and waste. Physical materials are only used when they are absolutely required or meaningful.
Insights From Our Team.
Read what our people have to say about life at SFX ->
What I love most about SFX is the clarity of the mission and the kind of people we bring in. Everyone here knows what we’re building and there’s a shared drive behind it. From a personal level its satisfying to see people grow within the company and become integral members of the team. There’s a real career progression path at SFX, and it can happen fast.”
— Howard, Head of Recruitment
The Incubator has made me think differently about trading and I learned to build better ideas using macroeconomics. From the start, I was treated like someone with real potential and the seriousness of the program was vivid. I definitely recommend to build a good relationship with your Lead, who provides mentoring and support all times of the day.
— Juan, Incubator Trader
SFX is the first place I’ve worked where I actually feel part of a team. You’re challenged, sure, but you’re also supported from the senior guys. You’re encouraged to trade independently and reminded that you’re here because you’re good at what you do. Outside of work, there’s also cool activities to get involved with like golf, game nights and dinners.
