Compliance Officer

On the surface VivCourt Trading might look like your average financial trading firm. But you just have to scratch the surface (or chat to anyone who works there) to know it most definitely is not.

VivCourt's founder, Rob Keldoulis, has taken the traditional corporate business model and flipped it on its head. He has challenged every aspect and come away with what he believes will evolve into the only sustainable corporate model of the future.

Unlike the traditional company structure of a financial institution, which sees CEO's taking ridiculous rewards and focusing all efforts on keeping emotionally removed shareholders happy, VivCourt is different. Rob has achieved this by removing the Shareholder layer altogether and replacing it with a charitable trust.

By flipping the thinking around, he has built a business that is centred on the employees, customers and charities. These are the VivCourt shareholders - which when you think about it logically should be THE only shareholders. There's an imbalance in the world that is spawned by the usual shareholder structure - where the top 100 CEO's earn more than the poorest 1 billion people combined.

The obvious upside to the VivCourt model is that wealth can be generated with a social conscience. It brings a sense of purpose to one of the most capitalistic and self-serving industries. It provides its employees with a deeper satisfaction and a way for their job to advance them other than just purely financially.

The other leg of this model is the internal effect. By removing the shareholder layer, you also remove the 'fear factor' of employment. There is no hounding by management to achieve certain results to simply appease shareholders. This means that management is able to take a longer-term view, which frees them up to focus on the welfare of the employees. Management becomes a tool for the employees, a partnership of equals to work alongside them as opposed to against them.

**What we do**:
VivCourt is a proprietary trading firm with a major difference. Our main trading floor is in Sydney, our Energy trading business is in Brisbane and local representation in several other Australian locations including Melbourne. We also have an office in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

While VivCourt originally started as an options market maker on the major Asian equity indices, it has grown into a business trading a wide range of global strategies.

These strategies vary from manual trading to fully automated trading, from trading a couple times per day to trading on a nano-second level, and from trading based on longer term structural views to trading on short term fluctuations.

We have expanded from simply trading Options and Futures to ETF's, Stocks, Bonds, Electricity, FX & Commodities.
