About Quark

Quark Energy Trading is a UK based joint venture between Liger Investments and Habitat Energy.

Liger Investments, founded in 2007, is a global organization operating on the cutting-edge of algorithmic trading, specialising in futures and derivatives contracts on some of the world’s largest exchanges.

Habitat Energy, founded in 2017, optimizes flexible assets in the UK, Australian and US electricity markets and possesses strong electricity markets and data science expertise. Habitat Energy is a portfolio company of Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners.

The power market, as one of the world’s most volatile commodities, is undergoing disruptive decarbonisation and has traditionally been overlooked by algorithmic trading firms due to its volatility. Quark combines the unique and complementary skillsets of its parent companies to deliver algorithmic trading to Power exchanges, providing liquidity and depth to the green transition of Power markets. The market efficiencies in this space are far from being optimised, and together, we share an opportunity to be pioneers.
