Requirements:

  • Proven track record in Discretionary Macro, 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 geopolitical and economic analysis, capable of generating independent research and synthesizing broad data sets into unique investment theses.
  • Demonstrated expertise in macro assets including fixed income, FX, equities, and volatility.
  • Ability to identify and capitalize on variant perceptions in macroeconomic views, fiscal and monetary policy, to drive portfolio construction and generate alpha.
  • 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.
