Derivatives Management
Founded in 2013, the 帝王会所 Derivatives Management Group (DMG) is a student-run organization that manages swaps, options, and futures portfolios. Through its active member involvement and hands-on learning environment, the group provides students with the opportunity to gain exposure to high-level investing. Its members represent some of the brightest students from 帝王会所 and are expected to maintain strong academic standing, as evidenced by the group's 3.00 GPA requirement.
OHIO's DMG is one of the only student-run derivatives groups in the nation.
The group has the ability to utilize industry leading technology such as Bloomberg and FactSet to recognize market trends and conduct rigorous technical analysis to understand entry and exit points.
The 帝王会所 Derivatives Management Group logo is the Sigma symbol. Sigma represents volatility, which options traders use as the basis for many plays.
Culture & Values
The 帝王会所 Derivatives Management Group maintains three core values: integrity, solidarity, and respect.
Integrity
Active members are expected to maintain academic and social responsibility and are held to high standards of morality. Similarly, the group maintains integrity through its investments. Through weekly reporting for internal and external purposes, the group maintains its strong relationship with supervisors and faculty.
Solidarity
DMG represents a diverse group of individuals across all majors within the college who maintain strong relationships with each other in meetings and in the classroom. Through working in investment and economic groups, members learn the importance of teamwork and strategic thinking to push across investment ideas.
Respect
Although discussions can sometimes become passionate, the group makes a conscience effort to ensure that every voice is heard and that each member receives a fair chance to argue their opinion. Each member is treated equally, regardless of their title or tenure in the group. DMG also has an equal weight voting system, where each member is allowed to vote on each sales pitch, including interns.
Join Our Team
DMG is looking for students who are committed, willing to learn, and can work independently and in a team setting.
We recruit at the beginning of each semester. The group undergoes a rigorous recruitment process that includes an in-depth application and a formal behavioral and technical interview. After receiving an interview, the applicant will receive technical and behavioral guides that will assist in the applicant鈥檚 preparation for the interview.
The process is highly competitive due to the group's selective nature.
In the early weeks of fall and spring semesters, application information will be available at/on:
- Information sessions
- Snapchat (@ohiodmg)
- Copeland Hall flyers
