  • Being willing to develop an in-depth understanding of many hedge fund strategies across asset classes, studying their diversification potential and helping with the quantitative assessment of candidate strategies.
  • Working closely with our hedge fund managers to develop processes and tools aimed at enhancing risk awareness and improving investment decision-making with the help of statistical and various types models.
  • Collaborating with other quantitative analysts and data scientists at Pictet AM to identify useful patterns and signals from alternative data sources to enhance our investment processes.
  • Building strong relationships with the Investment Risk, Investment Technology, and Reporting teams to enhance performance attribution, stress testing and the automation of reporting tasks.

    • Quantitative background (university degree in computer science, mathematics, statistics, physics, engineering, or quantitative finance).
    • Expert in Python and the standard data science packages (e.g., pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, SciPy, etc.) and comfortable with relational database programming (SQL).
    • Previous experience with Snowflake, AWS, data visualisation tools and languages (Tableau), and machine learning would be a plus.
    • Familiarity with fundamental factor risk models (Axioma, Bloomberg MAC2 & MAC3, Barra) would be a plus.
