Behind every great trading firm is a team that understands what it takes to win. At The Equity Shares, that team is led by two former Citigroup Managing Directors and a former Director from HSBC with over 60 years of combined trading experience.
Founded in 2024, The Equity Shares isn’t just another prop firm. It’s a mentorship-driven platform built by traders who’ve worked at the highest levels of institutional finance. And now, we’re bringing that same experience to retail traders around the world.
Why We Built The Equity Shares
After decades inside global banks, the founders of The Equity Shares saw a gap in the prop trading world, too many firms focused on quick funding, with little guidance or long-term development. Most traders were left to navigate the markets alone.
So they built something different.
The Equity Shares was launched to give traders what they never had: a true partnership. Real capital. Real mentorship. Real careers.
Our mission is clear, support traders not just with money, but with the guidance, structure, and opportunity to thrive.
1-on-1 Mentorship from Industry Veterans
What makes The Equity Shares different starts at the top.
Every funded trader has access to direct mentorship from our firm’s leadership, including:
- 1:1 coaching with the CEO and co-founders
- Strategy feedback based on real-world experience
- Personalized performance reviews
- Ongoing support to help scale to $1.5 million
This level of direct access is nearly unheard of in the prop firm space.
“After decades in institutional trading, we realized the real missing piece wasn’t capital, it was mentorship,” says Charles, Co-Founder and CEO of The Equity Shares.
Turning Traders Into Professionals
Mentorship is just the beginning. Top-performing traders can qualify for something even rarer: a full-time salaried role.
Through the Remote Trader Program, consistent performers can:
- Earn up to $350,000 per year
- Trade firm capital remotely
- Gain full-time career stability
“We’re not just funding traders; we’re building careers,” adds James, Co-Founder and Head of Trader Management.
Built for Traders, Backed by Experience
The Equity Shares’s founders know what it takes to manage risk, build strategy, and grow capital. They’ve done it for decades at one of the world’s top banks.
Now, they’re using that expertise to shape the next generation of trading professionals, offering not just an account, but a full career path.
If you’re serious about trading, The Equity Shares gives you more than a chance. We give you a team.
