About DC Energy:

DC Energy is a proprietary trading firm that invests in the energy markets and other commodities.  DC Energy was founded in 2002; today it and its affiliates have grown to over 70 investment professionals.  We are based in the Washington DC metropolitan area.

DC Energy’s competitive advantage is based upon a rigorous, quantitative analytical approach.  Our team comprises exceptionally bright problem solvers who work together cohesively as a team to understand the fundamental value of commodities and identify opportunities for trading and investment.  Together we have developed robust, proprietary economic frameworks enabling us to take positions across a diverse range of financial instruments and strike a prudent and efficient balance between risk and return. 

Investment Analyst Description:

Our people are central to our business.  We are looking for talented professionals who excel in problem solving and in quantitative analysis with a desire to build and implement the solutions to address these challenges.  Each Investment Analyst has direct responsibility for investment decision-making, as well as for research, data analysis, testing, trade execution, and business development.  Our office culture is entrepreneurial and collegial, so our people must be able to work well and communicate in teams, show initiative and resourcefulness, and provide leadership.

Investment Analysts work within small teams organized by product or market and take responsibility for an individual work module that forms part of the firm’s overall investment activities, while gaining exposure and contributing to a range of business issues across their team and firm. Key attributes for success at DC Energy include:

            • Exceptional quantitative analytic skills and requisite technical proficiency

            • Superior problem solving abilities

            • Excellent verbal and written communications skills

• Intellectual curiosity

• Integrity and honesty

While we have no explicit required experience for successful applicants, and we have hired people from many different backgrounds, our quantitative analytic approach is well suited to people with degrees in science and engineering or with intensive quantitative experience in their coursework or prior employment.
