About Us

Symmetry Investments is a global investment company with offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, London, New York, Jersey, Cayman Islands and Dubai (DIFC). We have been in business since 2014 after successfully spinning off from a major New York-based hedge fund.

At Symmetry Investments, we seek to engage in intelligent risk‑taking to create value for our clients, partners and employees. We derive our edge from our capacity to generate Win‑Wins – in the broadest sense. Win‑Win is our fundamental ethical and strategic principle. By generating Win‑Wins, we can create unique solutions that reconcile perspectives that are usually seen as incompatible or opposites, and encompass the best that each side has to offer:

We integrate fixed‑income arbitrage with global macro strategies in a novel way.

We invent and develop technology that focuses on the potential of human‑machine integration.

We build systems where machines do what they do best, supporting people to do what people do best.

We are creating a collaborative meritocracy: a culture where individual contribution serves both personal and collective goals - and is rewarded accordingly.

We value both ownership thinking AND cooperative team spirit, self‑realization AND community.
