Firms other than Prop firms in London

[RothTrader]

I currently trade at a prop firm in London and have developed a daily trend following system across different sectors. I am now looking to move firms and find somewhere where they can invest a decent sun of money into the system. I know plenty of good prop firms in London who are able to invest the sums, but I also want to approach other firms, e.g. hedge funds, who look to take on traders with backtested and forward walking results. The question is, can anyone point me in the right direction about finding potential firms, other than prop firms?

Your best bet might be to find a headhunter, since most hedge funds wouldn't be interested in someone who trades something other than their usual strategy.

If you can clearly demonstrate that your approach is scalable try someone like 'Brevan Howard' in Mayfair. The rumour is that their BH Global Macro fund is staffed by very good prop traders who are entrustred to generate their returns. However, I have not confirmed this. Bear in mind that when I say scalable, we are talking of a fund with market cap in excess of USD$15 bln so you have to be convincing!

Good luck!
