Based in Toronto, Questrade has a clear vision: help Canadians achieve financial independence. How do we do it? By offering a digital, low-cost alternative that gives Canadian investors a better choice in an industry that's historically been stacked against you. Anyone can trade stocks for as low as 1¢, buy ETFs for free, and pay no annual fees on TFSAs & RRSPs. We're the first and only brokerage to rebate mutual fund trailer fees. And, Questrade Inc. sweetens the deal by offering gold and silver bullion trading, multi-leg option strategies, bonds, and forex. In 2014, Questrade Wealth Management Inc. took a huge leap forward by introducing professionally managed accounts with Questwealth Portfolios: ultra low cost and accessible to all Canadians.

Jane Street works differently. As a liquidity provider and market maker, we trade on more than 200 trading venues across 45 countries and help form the backbone of global markets. Our approach is rooted in technology and rigorous quantitative analysis, but our success is driven by our people. Our bright, beautiful offices in the heart of New York, London, Hong Kong, and Amsterdam are open and buzzing with conversation. We come from many backgrounds and encourage travel between offices to share perspectives. Some of our best ideas come from bumping into a visiting colleague at the office coffee bar. Markets move fast. Staying competitive as we’ve grown has required constant invention—of new trading strategies, technology, and processes. We’ve found this is easier when you hire humble, kind people. They tend to help each other, and prioritize teamwork over titles. We invest heavily in teaching and training. There’s a library and a classroom in every office, because deepening your understanding of something is considered real work. Guest lectures, classes, and conferences round out the intellectual exchanges that happen every day. People grow into long careers at Jane Street because there are always new and interesting problems to solve, systems to build, and theories to test. More than twenty years after our founding, it still feels like we’re just getting started.
