Equity Long/Short Portfolio Manager
London | Market Neutral | Established PM
We are advising a leading global investment platform on the continued expansion of its Equity Long/Short business and are looking to speak with established Portfolio Managers in London.
The mandate is focused on fundamental, market-neutral Equity L/S, with current priorities across:
- US Financials / REITs
- Industrials
- Energy & Natural Resources
- Japan
We are specifically interested in proven Portfolio Managers already independently managing capital with an established, attributable track record.
This is not primarily a first-time PM mandate. Candidates should have demonstrated the ability to construct and independently manage an Equity L/S portfolio through different market environments while producing consistent risk-adjusted returns.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Current sector priorities are Financials/REITs, Industrials, Energy/Natural Resources and Japan.
While these represent the immediate areas of interest, we would also welcome conversations with exceptional Equity L/S PMs outside these sectors where the track record and investment proposition are particularly compelling.
The platform offers significant institutional infrastructure and the ability to allocate meaningful capital behind proven investment talent.
All conversations will be treated in the strictest confidence.
