Global mandates — New York · Chicago · Greenwich · London · Dubai · India · Hong Kong · Singapore
We are retained by several top-tier hedge funds and multi-strategy platforms building out their systematic and quantitative capability across the US, EMEA and Asia. These are live, funded mandates with genuine urgency behind them.
We are hiring across four areas:
Portfolio Managers — individuals and pods. Alpha-generating systematic and quant PMs with a verifiable live track record. We are mandated on both single hires and full team lift-outs, and our clients are equipped to move quickly on an established pod.
Quantitative Researchers. Signal research, alpha generation, portfolio construction and machine learning, across cash equities, futures, options and credit.
Quantitative Developers. Research infrastructure, backtesting frameworks, execution systems and production trading platforms.
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 is on offer
Substantial capital allocation with a clear path to scaling. Institutional-grade research, data and execution infrastructure. Compensation structures at the top of the market, built to reward compounding rather than a single good year. And for established teams, the support to move as a unit.
Competitive — base salary, guaranteed compensation and performance-linked upside, structured according to strategy, seniority and track record.
Discretion
Every conversation is confidential. Nothing is shared with any client without your explicit consent. If you are exploring quietly, an initial call carries no obligation and no exposure.
