    This year, our annual 📚Books and Backpacks 🎒 philanthropy drive got a twist: alongside backpacks and school supplies, our team also donated fiction books to spark a love of reading in the next generation. 💫 The result? ➡️ 600 backpacks ➡️ 600 books and ➡️ thousands of school supplies were delivered to students in communities near our U.S. locations and in Belfast, Ireland. 🎉 To all our team members who participated: thank you! 💙 You gave students more than a head start on the school year — you opened new worlds for them, one book at a time. 🙌 Philanthropy is engrained in who we are at PEAK6; Books and Backpacks is just one piece of it. 🧩 Alongside other firmwide giving campaigns, we also offer our team members a charitable donation-matching program and additional paid time off to volunteer with causes they care about. 💑 As Oscar Wilde put it, "The smallest act of kindness outweighs the grandest intention." We encourage everyone to support a cause close to your 💗 heart; together, our acts help change the world. 🌍 #GiveBack #Volunteer #Philanthropy

To our interns: Thank you for the contributions you're already making. By providing you with meaningful project work, structured mentorships, and hands-on skill development we hope your experience with us will resonate with you long after you return to campus.

    The 2026 intern class is officially in the building! Every summer, we welcome a group of sharp, curious students into one of the most dynamic environments in trading — and every year, we're reminded of what it actually means to be a PEAK6 intern. It's not just knowing the math. It's being willing to be wrong and step outside of your comfort zone. Check out what our interns walked away with last year! 👇 #PEAK6 #SummerInterns #CampusRecruiting #TradingCareers #Chicago #Trading #Internships

    #Sponsored - When Jenny Just began her career on the Chicago Board Options Exchange trading floor in the early 1990s, there wasn't even a women's restroom nearby. She went on to co-found PEAK6, helping grow a $1.5 million startup into a multibillion-dollar holding company spanning trading, fintech, insurance, investing infrastructure, esports and more. Today, Just says learning poker earlier could have "saved 10 years of losses" in her career. Her reason: poker teaches decision-making under uncertainty — a core skill in business, leadership and entrepreneurship. Through Poker Power, she is now using the game to teach confidence, negotiation, communication, risk-taking and resilience.

    We hosted our first Young Professionals Day of the year at PEAK6 — and it did not disappoint. Students joined us in Chicago for a full day of markets exposure, professional skills workshops, mock interviews, and real trading exercises alongside our team. The goal was simple: Give students an honest, hands-on look at what a career in trading actually feels like. #PEAK6 #YoungProfessionals #TradingCareers #CampusRecruiting #Chicago
