Dušan Šobot

Dušan Šobot is a quantitative researcher based in London, United Kingdom. He studied Mathematics at the University of Cambridge (Master of Mathematics, MMath, 2012-2016) after attending the Mathematical High School (Matematička gimnazija) in Belgrade. He represented Serbia at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2012, winning a silver medal. His professional career runs through Jump Trading (Algorithmic Trader, 2016-2017), GSA Capital (Quant Research Intern 2018; Quantitative Researcher 2019-2020; Senior Quantitative Researcher 2020-2021), Cubist Systematic Strategies / Point72 (Senior Research Analyst, 2021-2025) and back to GSA (Quantitative Researcher, from 2025).

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. His LinkedIn profile lists an unbroken sequence of quantitative-finance roles - Quant Research Intern at GSA Capital (2018), Quantitative Researcher at GSA Capital (2019-2020), Senior Quantitative Researcher at GSA Capital (2020-2021), Senior Research Analyst at Cubist Systematic Strategies (2021-2025), Quantitative Researcher at GSA (2025-present), and Algorithmic Trader at Jump Trading LLC (2016-2017). Employer classification: GSA Capital is a systematic/statistical hedge fund (gsacapital.com, gsacapital.com index row); Cubist Systematic Strategies is a quantitative systematic-investing unit affiliated with Point72, whose domain appears in the company index; Jump Trading LLC is a proprietary high-frequency trading firm. Identity is supported: the same profile carries the University of Cambridge MMath (2012-2016) and the Mathematical High School (Belgrade) education matching the IMO-2012 Serbian contestant, and multiple independent people-index/aggregator pages (theorg, rocketreach, flashintel) list the same GSA/Cubist roles. Student programs alone would not qualify, but these are actual roles and an internship.Sep 17, 2026
• Returned to GSA Capital in 2025 as Quantitative Researcher after four years at Cubist Systematic Strategies; the GSA->Cubist->GSA arc places him in the tight London systematic-research labour market, moving between hedge funds rather than across asset classes.Sep 1, 2025
• Won a silver medal for Serbia at the 2012 International Mathematical Olympiad with 24 points (P1 7, P2 7, P3 0, P4 3, P5 7, P6 0), ranked 72nd, top 13% of the 547 contestants - the strongest single external marker of mathematical ability that predates his quantitative career.Jul 1, 2012
• Our company index lists Cubist Systematic Strategies under the domain point72.com, consistent with Cubist being a systematic-investing affiliate of Point72 Asset Management; this is an index-only attribution and was not independently confirmed from a primary source in this run.Sep 17, 2026
• Confirmed his degree as a Master of Mathematics (MMath) at the University of Cambridge, 2012-2016, with a concurrent 'Student' role on LinkedIn - i.e. undergraduate-to-master's straight through, then straight into trading at Jump.Jun 1, 2016
• Attended Matematička gimnazija (Mathematical High School) in Belgrade, the specialist school whose 2011 team he was part of; the school records him placing at international competitions, an early specialization that led directly into Cambridge mathematics.Jan 1, 2011
• Theorg (a team/org aggregator) lists a 'Dušan Šobot' as Quantitative Researcher on GSA Capital's Quantitative Research team page; this is an aggregator/index listing, not independent primary-source confirmation, but it is consistent with the 2025-current role.Sep 17, 2026
