IR/FX Portfolio Manager – Major Global Hedge Fund – Singapore recruitment

It is vital that the candidate has at least five years track record as a successful portfolio manager, strong risk management principles and experience managing sizable portfolios. The firm is increasing its scale and scope of strategies that are deployed and are looking for a portfolio manager currently running successful IR/FX strategies with consistent returns, low volatility and low directionality (if non-macro).  Candidates from the sell-side must have strong proprietary trading track records in the short term FX/IR Asian Local Markets trading space. Key here is the ability to understand daily risk limits and manage leveraged strategies.

Candidates must have:

• Experience in the developed and/or emerging currency/interest rate markets as a Portfolio Manager or Senior Proprietary Trader

• Demonstrated investment acumen and a strong verifiable performance track record

• A passion for total return investing within a guideline-constrained environment

• Strong skills and experience in investment research, risk modelling, and portfolio construction

This is a major opportunity for a driven independent portfolio manager to take the next step in their career as they take advantage of large scale capital allocation, the ability to build a team and an attractive pay-out structure linked to personal as well as fund performance.  The firm is willing to consider teams as and when necessary.
