Quantitative Portfolio Manager – New York, London or Hong Kong recruitment

An experienced quantitative portfolio manager is being sought after by a multi-billion dollar USA based hedge fund

Company
The firm has offices in NY/CT, Hong Kong and London and focus on systematic trading across the FX, futures, commodities and equities markets. They focus on high frequency trading with typical trades covering sub minute to intraday. The current focus is to bring on board 3 systematic PM’s across all regions that will focus on expanding into new markets while being supported strategically, technically and with the necessary capital and risk appetite.

They have the capacity to bring on board teams also, although the current focus is on PNL generating PM’s. The opportunity will best suit a quantitative trader who has been running high frequency strategies with a book size of more than $10MN and a live track record of at least 2 years. The firm is willing to give ownership and risk to the PM’s with capital backing of $100MN+ and percentage payouts based on PNL generated.

Responsibilities
Your role will involve researching, back testing, developing the algorithms and executing systematic high frequency strategies. Although not limited to, you will go beyond just a plug and play model and be actively involved in researching new quantitative strategies. The firm is looking for someone that has taken ownership of risk before and is motivated by scaling up their strategies whilst also having the opportunity to build a team in the medium term. A quant background is desirable but not necessary.

Ideally you will have as a minimum 2 year track record of trading systematically across the sub minute to the day horizon and have the motivation to build a new business across new markets for an already established global electronic trading house.

Required Experience

Pnl should exceed 10% return with single digit volatility and should be at least $10-15 MN in absolute dollar terms.
Portfolio Manager should have a minimum of 5 years experience
Strategy to be traded should have at least a 2 year track record
