FX / Rates Portfolio Manager - Global 20b+ Hedge Fund
Location - London, Dubai, Switzerland
Description:
Our client is a highly successful global hedge fund with a strong track record across macro and liquid markets. As part of the continued expansion of its investment platform, the firm is looking to hire an experienced FX Portfolio Manager to establish and manage a dedicated foreign exchange trading strategy.
This is an opportunity for an entrepreneurial PM to join a sophisticated institutional platform with significant capital, extensive technology and infrastructure, and a collaborative investment environment.
The Opportunity:
The successful candidate will have significant autonomy to develop and manage an FX strategy across developed and emerging markets. The mandate can be tailored around the PM’s existing expertise, investment process and track record.
The strategy could encompass G10 and/or EM FX, including spot, forwards, swaps, options and other FX derivatives, with the ability to express both directional and relative-value views. The role would suit an established FX Portfolio Manager with a demonstrable track record of generating consistent, risk-adjusted returns and a clearly defined investment process.
