Hedge Fund Desk Assistant/Operational Change
Black Swan Hedge Fund team is currently working with two newly formed Hedge Funds. Both have recently soft closed at just under $1bn AUM with a waiting list of further investment only 2.5 years after its inception date. Performance has been strong and the Prime Brokerages have endorsed the managers and their strategy highly. One is a EMEA long/short equity fund that combines short term trading with fundamental investing and the other is a European special situations fund.
The role is sitting between the COO and the Investment Team responsible for trade booking, PL analysis, hedging, portfolio rebalancing, performance analysis and all portfolio accounting. The position will also look at compliance, operational change and technological development ensuring that the investment desk continues to get a first class service as trading volumes increase and new funds are launched. Due to the small nature of the fund the role will ultimately deal with all areas non trading and focus on the most fundamental areas in running and growing a hedge fund.
