  • Proven track record in Equity Long/Short, demonstrated by robust investment acumen and a Sharpe Ratio greater than 1.5.
  • A minimum of 5 years of experience in portfolio management, preferably within a hedge fund.
  • Proficiency in financial modelling, sector analysis, business structure analysis, and conducting business cycle research.
  • Demonstrated expertise in the industries and/or regions of focus, as well as risk management techniques for equity portfolios.
  • Humility and the capacity to thrive in a highly collaborative global team, with a strong desire to learn from and alongside other investors.
  • Unwavering commitment to the highest standards of ethics and integrity.
  • Exceptional decision-making abilities, capable of performing well under pressure.

Application Instructions:

To apply, please submit your CV, a detailed account of your investment track record (including evidence of a Sharpe Ratio greater than 1.5), and a comprehensive outline of your proposed investment strategy and process. If you're an experienced portfolio manager with a passion for collaboration and a keen interest in financial markets, we'd love to connect with you.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
