PDT Partners

PDT Partners, short for Process Driven Trading, started in 1993 as a proprietary trading group within Morgan Stanley, founded by Peter Muller. In 2013, we became an independent investment management firm.

Today, we are a quantitative asset management firm managing billions in assets. We use a scientific, systematic, and model-driven approach to investing, finding inefficiencies in financial markets.

Our work covers investment management, technology, software development, quantitative modeling, global investment, and hedge fund operations. We have offices in New York, NY, and London, UK. Our teams include Investor Relations, Legal and Compliance, and Tax Accountants within the Family Office.

We are a talent-driven organization that values intelligence and compassion. Our success is tied to our employees’ incentives. We look for deeply curious people who are determined, persistent, and ready to grow.

We prioritize raw ability and good judgment over specific skills or experience because of our unique work. We carefully consider every hire, expecting each person to have a unique and important impact on our company. We aim for high employee retention by hiring individuals who can thrive here.

Our team is led by Founder and CEO Peter Muller and a small group of managing partners, overseeing about 200 scientists, engineers, and professionals.

We foster a collaborative, fast-paced environment with a diverse and close-knit culture, which helps us maintain a strong retention record. Our workplace is comfortable, casual, and flexible.

Employee incentives are aligned with our long-term success, and compensation reflects cumulative contributions with no pre-determined upper limits.

We also support a social environment with frequent company meals, outings, and events. Employees can join friendly competitions like ping-pong, poker, trivia tournaments, scavenger hunts, and sports leagues. Many roles are hybrid, requiring in-office presence at least three days per week in New York City.

We offer extensive benefits and perks. Our compensation takes a long-term and generous view, with earning potential linked to firm performance and individual impact, supported by a deferred compensation plan tied to our investment performance.

We provide full medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance, along with wellness programs and subsidized fitness. Employees get generous time off and unlimited sick leave. We support families with emergency back-up child and elder care.

Financial benefits include 401k matching, pre-tax options for medical, dependent care, and some transportation expenses, and matching for charitable giving. Our offices also have stocked pantries with snacks.

For education and career growth, we cover annual conference and seminar attendance, offer internal and external training, provide partial tuition reimbursement, and host speakers, book clubs, and roundtables.
