British mathematician. Sam Bealing represented the United Kingdom at the International Mathematical Olympiad 2018, winning an Honourable Mention, and attended Bridgewater High School and Appleton College in Warrington before going up to Trinity College, Cambridge in 2018. He has remained in the UK olympiad community as a problem-setter for the British Mathematical Olympiad and appears among the organisers and co-authors of the AI Mathematical Olympiad (AIMO) Kaggle competitions sponsored by XTX Markets. He is a different individual from the similarly named CFA fund manager whose LinkedIn profile was supplied as a lead.

Notes
  • The caller-supplied LinkedIn https://linkedin.com/in/sam-bealing-cfa-01b04598 ('Sam Bealing, CFA', Co-Founder & Portfolio Manager) belongs to a DIFFERENT person: its education is Torquay Boys' Grammar School and University of Oxford, and its employers are Liontrust, UBS and GreenLane - none matching the IMO-2018 contestant's Warrington/Trinity-Cambridge record.2026
  • Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. No actual quantitative-finance role or internship is confirmed for the IMO-2018 Sam Bealing. The caller-supplied employment leads (GreenLane, Liontrust, UBS) belong to a namesake (Sam Bealing, CFA; Oxford/Torquay). A 'Royal London' affiliation appears only in an olympiad-community listing with no role or function specified.2026
  • The name 'Sam Bealing' recurs across three separable UK-mathematics contexts - IMO 2018 contestant (Bridgewater High School), British Mathematical Olympiad problem-setter listed as 'Royal London', and AIMO Kaggle host/co-author - while a fourth, the CFA fund manager with the LinkedIn lead (Oxford/Torquay; GreenLane/Liontrust/UBS), is a different person, so the caller's employment leads attach to the wrong individual.2026
  • No verified current employer, title or job exists for the IMO-2018 Sam Bealing: the LinkedIn profile supplied as a lead resolves to a namesake, and the only employment-shaped trace is an unspecified 'Royal London' name in an olympiad-community listing.2026
  • Three or more distinct UK 'Sam Bealing' identities coexist online (the IMO 2018 contestant; a CFA fund manager at GreenLane/Liontrust; a people's-partnership pricing actuary in Edinburgh), so any single search result for the name must be identity-checked before use.2026
  • Sam Bealing represented the United Kingdom at the International Mathematical Olympiad 2018, listed by the IMO as 'Sam Bealing' of Bridgewater High School with an Honourable Mention (11 points).Jul 2018
  • UKMT's Olympiad Mentoring Scheme teaching material is credited to 'Sam Bealing, Thomas Hillman, and Freddie Illingworth' on the scheme's official page - primary evidence that the IMO contestant stayed in UK olympiad mathematics after 2018, writing mentoring material rather than moving into industry.2024
  • The British Mathematical Olympiad people pages list 'Mr Sam Bealing, Royal London' among olympiad problem setters (2022-2024), and a Balkan MO report credits a geometry problem to Sam Bealing - evidence he remained in the UK olympiad community with a 'Royal London' affiliation.2022
  • Trinity College, Cambridge news names 'current undergraduates Sam Bealing (2018)' among Trinity mathematicians, tying the IMO contestant to Trinity College from 2018.2020
  • UKMT/BMO news of 9 April 2018 announced the IMO squad including 'Sam Bealing, Bridgewater High School', confirming the school and national selection.Apr 9, 2018
  • A 'Sam Bealing' co-authored AI Mathematical Olympiad (AIMO) Kaggle competition papers with Simon Frieder, Kevin Buzzard, Timothy Gowers, Po-Shen Loh and Lester Mackey; the competition is sponsored by XTX Markets, which is the sponsor - not a confirmed employer.2026
  • Sam Bealing appears as a 'Competition Host' and discussion responder on the AI Mathematical Olympiad (AIMO) Kaggle competitions (Progress Prize 2 and 3), a role tying this name to ML-for-mathematics benchmark organisation rather than to a trading desk.2026
