  • Ensure strict compliance with all industry rules, regulations, and internal company policies.

Requirements:

  • A minimum of 5 years of experience in portfolio management, preferably within a hedge fund.
  • Proficiency in programming skills, advanced quantitative methods for analyzing large data sets and pattern identification, as well as portfolio construction methodologies.
  • Demonstrated expertise in the asset classes utilized in the strategy, with the ability to build a front-to-back systematic investment framework with minimal regular human intervention.
  • Humility and the capacity to thrive in a highly collaborative global team, with a strong desire to learn from and alongside other investors.
  • Unwavering commitment to the highest standards of ethics and integrity.
  • Exceptional decision-making abilities, capable of performing well under pressure.

Application Instructions:

To apply, please submit your CV, a detailed account of your investment track record (including evidence of a Sharpe Ratio greater than 1.5), and a comprehensive outline of your proposed investment strategy and process. If you're an experienced portfolio manager with a passion for collaboration and a keen interest in financial markets, we'd love to connect with you.
