As Chief Investment Officer, Alex Wong leads Grasshopper’s strategic investment decisions in becoming Asia’s premier trading firm. His insights and thought leadership have consistently delivered success in key transformation work.
Alex began his career in Kuranda Trading as a click trader, where guts and glory were the battle cries on the trading floor, and wrote greybox algorithms to help his trading. He transited to fully automated quantitative trading as Head of the HFT desk at Toji Trading LLC, and then as the Head of the Systematic Trading team in Grasshopper. With his diverse experience and fondness for difficult problems, Alex offers an incisive perspective to alpha research and capture.
He often quotes, “All men dream; but not equally… But the dreamers of day are dangerous men. That they may act their dreams with open eyes to make it possible.”
Alex graduated from the National University of Singapore with a Bachelors in Physics and Financial Mathematics. He has won the Lijen Industrial Development Medal and the Jurong Shipyard Prize.
