Role Overview
We are working exclusively with a successful boutique asset manager looking to hire an experienced Quantamental Equity Portfolio Manager into its established equities team.
Reporting Structure
Reporting into a Senior Quantitative Portfolio Manager and Partner, this is an opportunity to join an existing successful investment platform while having genuine ownership and influence over the investment process. The successful candidate will contribute to existing strategies while also helping to research, develop and ultimately launch new products and investment strategies.
This is not a fully systematic quantitative role. We are looking for someone who sits at the intersection of quantitative research, fundamental investing and portfolio management, and who can use quantitative techniques to inform real-world investment decisions.
Ideal Candidate Profile
The role would suit an existing quantitative or quantamental equity PM, but we would also consider a senior quantitative equity researcher from the sell side who has strong institutional client exposure and previous experience managing money.

- Strong experience in quantitative or quantamental equities

- A strong understanding of equity markets, stock selection and portfolio construction

Background Considerations
Candidates could come from an asset management, hedge fund or senior sell-side quantitative equity research background. For sell-side candidates, previous hands-on money-management experience will be important.
Opportunity Appeal
The opportunity should particularly appeal to someone who wants to move away from a large, highly segmented organisation and join a more entrepreneurial environment where they can have real ownership of their work, contribute to an already successful investment process and play a meaningful role in building the next generation of strategies and products.
