Making A more efficient world WITH technology
About GENK CAPITAL
We are Singapore’s leading proprietary trading firm. We leverage on technology to provide liquidity to global financial markets. Our trading is based on our own models, using our own capital and done at our own risk.
We make markets more efficient through our market making and arbitrage strategies. Integrity is at the core of our trading and we strive to improve the market by providing fair and competitive prices.
Philosophy
Technology and automation is at the heart of Genk Capital’s trading. Yet, we also believe that trading is both science and art.
The Science
Our strategies are driven by data and facts. We adopt an uncompromising attitude towards intellectual rigour and test each of our hypothesis meticulously. We only trade with a quantifiable edge by developing quantitative models, exploiting pricing inefficiencies and taking calculated risks. Our trades are supported by well written and reliable algorithms that can execute at high frequency with low latency.
The Art
The problems that we need to tackle are often not well defined initially. They rarely have clean and “closed form” solutions. Though clear and logical thought is necessary, imagination is certainly helpful when working with a huge set of unknowns. When approaching new and complex problems, creativity in the selection of datasets and variables can sometimes produce surprisingly insightful results.
Our Team
Genk Capital embraces a culture of inquiry and learning. We are keenly aware that there is still much to improve on. No matter how experienced team members are, they are encouraged to discard their ego and be open to learning and relearning. We believe that humility and hardwork are essential to developing capabilities that can enable us to stay successful in the long run. We are hungry for new knowledge, new ideas and new technology.
Compiled here is a set of principles and beliefs that guide our traders and keeps them aligned to their goals

Job Responsibility
- We are as much a technology company as we are a trading firm. While our traders are focused on finding an edge in the markets, our engineers are determined to provide support through sophisticated in-house technologies. By delivering solutions that can operate at peak efficiency even in extreme conditions, engineers at Genk Capital make a lasting impact to the team.
+ Traders
Job Responsibility
- We believe in approaching trading with intellectual rigour and moral integrity. When markets are open, our traders are focused on executing the best trades. Outside trading hours, they shift their focus to checking positions, reviewing trades and developing strategies. The rewards of hard work comes naturally when traders see the impact of their algorithms in the market. We do not expect new traders to have experience in finance and economics. Rather, we place more value in how they think and learn.
