Senior Quant Trader / Portfolio Manager required – Top Tier Asset Manager – NYC or London. Up to $220k + PnL + Package recruitment
Montash Associates is currently partnering with a top tier, US based Asset Manager. We are looking to source a highly experienced, profitable Quantitative Portfolio Manager to join their award winning investment team.
The firm is one of the best established in the industry, with an exceptional reputation. They trade all major asset classes, on all major exchanges. They have a highly sophisticated, quantitative investment process.
As an organisation, they have both high and medium frequency strategies running. They have an exceptional, low latency platform in place that existing strategies can be plugged into.
They are not necessarily looking for a high frequency trading specialist. They are very open to a medium frequency trader, providing their risk is hedge appropriately. They have a strong preference for the Fixed Income space, but also look at Equities. They have recently launched a new commodities fund.
They are not looking to grow out their discretionary trading business at the moment. All trade ideas and underpinnings must be highly quantitative/algorithmic. They are a ‘grey box’ trading firm as a whole, but also have fully systematic traders as part of the team.
The group is highly research focussed and collaborative. They are from a variety of different backgrounds, which enhances performance due to the multi-faceted viewpoints and investment analysis.
The capital allocation to any specific trader varies dramatically, and will be entirely dependent upon historical performance. As a general rule, they will start new traders with a reasonable amount of capital then scale up over time as PnL is generated.
To summarise, the core requirements for this position are:
• Strong track record trading quantitative grey/black box strategies. Any asset class. Top tier trading organisation preferred
• Excellent PnL history. Low volatility. No blow ups.
• Strong academic track record. Post graduate qualification in highly numeric discipline preferred
• Strong programming skills, any language
• Excellent communication skills
• Strong team work abilities
• Permission to live and work in the USA. Visa sponsorship will be considered, but is unlikely
In return for this, there is an exceptional package on offer. There will be a strong base salary paid, the specific amount will be entirely dependent upon the specific candidate. On top of this, there will be a strong percentage of the PnL generated paid out. The firm will also offer discretionary bonus’ if an individual is to grow a new area, and thus not generate revenue for an initial period. There is a market leading benefits package on top of this.
To apply, please send a copy of your resume through to edwardb@montash.com. Once received, I will call you for a confidential discussion, and discuss the role in more detail.
