Overview

QT Capital Ltd. is an Investment Fund founded in January 2017 by 3 markets interns studying at Imperial College London. The trades were based on Macro momentum-based views expressed via ETFs and CFDs. In 2018 it expanded to become a group of 21 students running a £7000+ portfolio with 3 teams including Portfolio and Risk Analysts, Research Analysts and Quantitative Analysts. Divided in 3 divisions: Research, Engineering and Portfolio Managers, QT Capital Engineering became the leader in technology and information systems among student-managed investment funds.
