Discretionary & Systematic | Individual PMs & Teams

New York | London | Dubai | Singapore

J K Barnes is working with an expanding multi-strategy hedge fund developing multiple greenfield investment verticals alongside its international expansion.

The fund is seeking established Portfolio Managers to help build these businesses, bringing differentiated strategies, strong performance and the ability to scale.

This search is driven by the strength of your track record and investment process, rather than a narrowly prescribed asset class. Discretionary and selective systematic PMs are welcome, including directional, relative-value and arbitrage approaches. The fund can allocate up to $500Mn to suitable PMs or teams, subject to strategy capacity, track record, risk approval and due diligence.

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.

What we are looking for

  • Multi-year monthly performance data with clear personal attribution.
  • A repeatable investment process with capacity to scale.
  • Disciplined risk management, controlled drawdowns and effective capital utilisation.
