Qube Research & Technologies (QRT) is expanding its presence in London by acquiring office floors that were previously occupied by other tenants, as reported by Bloomberg. The multi-strategy hedge fund has entered into agreements to take additional space at the n2 development in Victoria, according to unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
This expansion is indicative of the intense competition among hedge funds for premium workspace in the capital city. QRT had initially committed to leasing 40,000 square feet at the n2 development when construction began in 2022, but now appears set to occupy the majority of the 161,000-square-foot building. The move follows QRT's rapid growth since its separation from Credit Suisse in 2018, when it received approximately $800 million in capital.
Currently, QRT manages around $55 billion under management, and it engages in various strategies and activities, including market making, physical commodities trading, and providing capital to external hedge fund managers. The firm's Torus fund, in particular, delivered a strong performance of 18.6% during the first half of 2026, as per the Bloomberg report.
