• Collaborate effectively within a global team environment, learning from and adding value to collective insights and expertise.
• Ensure strict compliance with all industry rules, regulations, and internal company policies.

Requirements:

• Proven track record in Systematic Macro, demonstrated by robust investment acumen and a Sharpe Ratio greater than 1.5.
• A minimum of 5 years of experience in portfolio management, preferably within a hedge fund.
• Proficiency in programming skills, advanced quantitative methods for analysing large data sets and pattern identification, as well as portfolio construction methodologies.
• Demonstrated expertise in macro product sets including futures, FX, and swaps, 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.
