Company Overview:

Caxton Associates, founded in 1983, is a global trading and investment firm with offices in London, New York, Monaco, Singapore, and Dubai. Caxton Associates’ primary business is to manage client and proprietary capital through multiple liquid global hedge fund disciplines, including discretionary macro, systematic macro, emerging markets macro, systematic trading, equity long-short, and event-driven strategies. Assets are managed via a broad mandate to trade in a variety of global markets and instruments with a focus on alpha generation for our clients.

Requirements

The Role:

Caxton Associates is seeking experienced Portfolio Managers specializing in Discretionary Macro strategies. In this pivotal role, you will be entrusted with managing a significant capital allocation and overseeing rigorous risk management across all active positions.

In our organization, we place a high value on collaboration, promoting regular and ongoing discussions about global macroeconomic trends, geopolitical developments, and the evolution of financial markets. Professionals who can extract key insights from their investment universe to inform and shape the broader team's perspective and leverage this collective knowledge to generate alpha within their mandate will find this is the perfect platform for their talents.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Independently manage a significant capital allocation by creating, executing, and monitoring a Discretionary Macro strategy.
  • Construct portfolios aimed at generating asymmetric returns with minimal correlation to traditional capital markets, by identifying and exploiting variant perceptions in views on the evolution of macro economies, fiscal and monetary policy, diverging from what is priced in the market.
  • Conduct thorough geopolitical and fundamental economic analysis on developed global economies.
  • Implement stringent risk management, actively assessing the merits of all positions and investment theses.
  • Collaborate effectively within a global team environment, learning from and adding value to collective insights and expertise.
  • Ensure strict compliance with all industry rules, regulations, and internal company policies.

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.

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.
