Quantitative Research Analyst recruitment
This is an opportunity to work with a highly accomplished investor who has generated a track record of returns that substantially exceeds market indices and with a firm which possesses a significant capital structure. This combination creates a unique opportunity for the Quantitative Research Analyst to influence and participate in the investment and trading process.
The Quantitative Research Analyst will work directly with the Portfolio Manager in developing and supporting a number of trading and investment strategies. These are niche-oriented strategies that reflect the Portfolio Manager’s track record in finding actionable market opportunities and compelling investment and trading dynamics. Some of these strategies will incorporate the application of statistical methods to model these underlying dynamics, while other situations will call for quantitative analysis to discover, reduce or isolate various performance and risk attributes.
The candidate will need strong communication skills and experience managing multiple projects, and should be comfortable letting their work speak for itself. This opportunity offers consistent learning and development opportunities, and will be a highly rewarding environment for results oriented professionals.
