• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Supporting evidence: LinkedIn/index records show an actual role - Quantitative Researcher at Quantedge from Nov 2014 to present - and a summer analyst internship at Citi in 2013. Quantedge is independently classified as a Singapore systematic (quantitative) investment manager, satisfying the 'operates in quantitative finance' test; Citi is a bank but the summer-analyst role is not evidenced as a quant-desk function. Identity is supported by the name/nationality/Hwa Chong/Cambridge-Mathematics alignment with the IMO 2006 Singapore contestant, though the role itself rests on LinkedIn/index data rather than an independent primary source.Sep 2026
• Identity linkage: the LinkedIn profile jun-wei-ho-67b07273 (Quantitative Researcher at Quantedge, Singapore) matches the IMO 2006 Singapore contestant on name, nationality and Hwa Chong Institution (2001-2006) attendance, and the Cambridge mathematics / Princeton MFin path is consistent with that olympiad background. This is a contextual match, not a primary-source confirmation.Sep 2026
• Currently listed as Quantitative Researcher at Quantedge (index/LinkedIn data), with the role dated from November 2014 - over a decade of tenure; the 2014 start sits ~0 years after his Princeton MFin, consistent with a direct post-master's hiring into the firm.Sep 2026
• Quantedge is a Singapore-born systematic (quantitative) investment manager; press describes it as 'systematic and built to last', confirming the employer genuinely operates in quantitative/systematic investing rather than merely carrying 'quant' in its name.2024
• Represented Singapore at the 47th International Mathematical Olympiad (2006) and won a bronze medal, scoring 16 points (7,1,0,7,1,0); imo-official records rank 161, 67.9%, award B.Jul 2006
• Education: B.A. (Hons) in Mathematics, University of Cambridge (2009-2012), then MFin in Quantitative Finance, Princeton University (2012-2014); the quantitative-finance master's is the credential most aligned with his subsequent research role.2014
• The qualitative role is corroborated by an org-chart listing placing Jun Wei Ho on Quantedge's Quantitative Research team alongside a Quantitative Research VP (Jianbo Sun); note theorg.com is an aggregator, not primary-source confirmation.Sep 2026
• Pre-career banking exposure: Summer Analyst at Citi in 2013 (index/LinkedIn data), a bank but not a role evidenced as quantitative; no quant-desk function is stated.2013
• A CV document titled 'Profile of Jun Wei Ho: Finance Expert' (uploaded by a third party on Scribd) summarises him as a Singapore citizen pursuing a Princeton MFin with a Cambridge Mathematics background and 'relevant work experience'; it is consistent with the LinkedIn data but is a third-party upload, not an authoritative document.Sep 2026
• Summer Analyst in GIC's Real Estate Division in 2011 (index/LinkedIn data); the division is real assets, not GIC's quantitative/portfolio functions, so it does not support a quant-trading claim.2011
• Trained other students as a Math Olympiad Trainer at Hwa Chong Institution in 2009 after his own olympiad career - a teaching/competition-prep role, not employment in finance.2009
• Served as a Combat Engineer (1st Lieutenant) in the Singapore Armed Forces 2007-2008, the national-service gap between school and university.2008
