Our Culture

_Our Values and Vibe

A Different Kind of Trading Firm

At VivCourt, we’ve redesigned what it means to work in trading. You’ll find yourself in an environment where intellectual curiosity meets genuine community, where your ideas shape our future, and where success is measured not just in numbers, but in personal growth.

While we share the same playing field as other trading firms, we’ve taken a distinctly different approach to how we operate.

We foster an employee-driven culture that actively supports your growth, both professionally and personally. We’ve created an environment where people can collaborate freely, communicate openly, and be creative. We provide genuine work-life balance that helps you thrive, not just at work, but in all aspects of your life.

Employee Driven

Our people-first environment isn’t just talk—it’s backed by concrete support and real outcomes:

  • You’ll make real decisions from day one—our graduates join trading and technology desks within months, not years.
  • Team members are encouraged to implement their own ideas and trading strategies backed by our resources.
  • Your wellbeing matters: we provide daily meals, gym classes, and mental health support.
  • Our parental leave policy and flexible working approach has supported dozens of parents in maintaining thriving careers.
  • Regular social events, from team sports to Friday BBQs, help you build meaningful connections beyond your desk.
  • Opportunities to give back through impact days, social bonuses and not-for-profit partnerships, create purpose beyond trading.

We understand that exceptional results come from a supported, energised team—and we put this belief into action every day.

Approach to Work

We embrace modern ways of working while recognising that trading requires an on-site presence. For those in non-trading roles, we offer flexible arrangements that combine the benefits of remote and office work.

Our experience shows that a 3-2 split between office and home creates the ideal balance. This approach lets you manage your work around your life while maintaining the human connections that make VivCourt special.

You’ll have the freedom to complete your non-trading work when and where you’re most productive, supported by an environment that empowers you to succeed on your own terms.

EMPLOYEE-DRIVEN

VivCourt is a trading firm that Trades on the world’s exchanges to generate profit in a competitive way – just like all the other trading firms across the globe.

VivCourt is also different because we offer a people-first environment – one where our employees can be creative, can explore new opportunities and are actively supported to perform at their best.

We know that an output-focused and high-productivity approach can mask a burnt-out and unhappy workforce. That’s why the health and well-being of our people will always be our number one priority and drive every decision we make. We’re focused on building a healthy, inclusive, and supportive environment so we can foster a positive and productive workplace where our people can truly thrive and be themselves – in more ways than one.

OUR OFFICES

Our Head Office is situated in the suburb of Paddington on the edge of the Sydney CBD, with additional locations in Brisbane, Melbourne and Amsterdam.

Located on Oxford Street, we’re housed in a 1500m2 building with large open spaces, a balcony, gym, multiple breakout spaces, and a fully stocked kitchen and dining space.

We’ve intentionally kept this space open to eliminate the separation between our team members and management, encouraging our people to interact, collaborate, ask questions, and discuss their ideas – and the colourful walls and abstract designs purposefully challenge typical office norms.

We have a relaxed dress code and style in our office and offer a variety of in-house perks and benefits – all with the goal to create a great working environment that enables everyone to bring their best selves to work.

APPROACH TO WORK

Here at VivCourt, we embrace the future of work and recognise the importance of a hybrid working model.

While trading must be done onsite, we appreciate that people have important commitments outside of work and we want to help them achieve a healthy work/life balance.

The best working combination we have experienced for those who choose to work from home, is a 3-2 split. We value bringing everyone together, creating an important dynamic in the office, human-to-human.

So, we give our employees the flexibility to get their non-trading work done when and where they’re most productive. In doing so, we empower them to work to their strengths in an environment that best supports them.

Our Strategies

Systematic Trading

Our systematic trading teams use mathematical modelling and data to uncover value in markets. They analyse large amounts of market data and macroeconomic indicators to spot signals that could lead to profitable opportunities. Strategies are built around these signals and thoroughly backtested to gauge their performance in different market conditions.

Our systematic strategies work over medium-term timeframes, with positions typically held from minutes to days. With deep expertise in quantitative analysis, data, and machine learning, our team constantly monitors and refines these strategies to keep pace with changing market dynamics.

Energy trading

Our Brisbane-based Energy Trading team conducts in-depth research on the Australian and New Zealand electricity markets to execute strategic trades. Our approach prioritises fewer, well-timed trades that target long-term trends and bigger price movements. With a strong understanding of market dynamics, we’re able to:

  • Recognise mispricing opportunities
  • Analyse long-term trends and pricing shifts
  • Identify optimal entry and exit points
  • Make well-informed trading decisions

Market-making

Market making is a high-frequency strategy focused on providing liquidity.  When supply and demand are low, products can become hard to trade, creating a need for market makers like us. Our market-making teams offer continuous buy and sell prices on exchanges, ensuring other market participants can trade efficiently. We profit from carefully managing the spread between buy and sell prices while using sophisticated hedging techniques to protect our positions. Our reach extends across a broad spectrum of financial instruments on multiple exchanges:

  • Global stock markets
  • Exchange-traded funds
  • Options markets
  • Derivative products

We honour and celebrate their Elders and the Elders of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nations past and present.
