Job Description:

We're delighted to be advising advising a top-performing hedge fund on its ambitious plans for growth as they look to expand in the second half of the year. Following another year of excellent returns, as well as a fantastic start to 2025, our client is seeking to add talented individuals across numerous investment teams.

One key hire they're looking to make is to further strengthen their quantitative investment analysis capabilities. Working alongside the investment research, trading and portfolio management teams, this individual will form a key part of the investing process.

The role will focus on:

• Development of quantitative investment tools used for the screening of global securities and derivatives
• Identifying mis-priced securities across cash and derivatives, and developing L/S investment ideas and RV opportunities for presentation to the portfolio management team
• Developing complex alpha-driving hedging strategies

The ideal candidate will require:

• Significant experience of using Excel, Python, VBA, R, etc.
• A background of developing investment screening tools within credit and equity markets
• Experience either on a leading trading desk as a Desk Strat/Credit Strat, or on the buy side working with hedge fund strategies
• Detailed knowledge of bonds, indices, options, volatility, tranches, etc.

The role will suit a quantitative investment analyst - anywhere from VP to Director-level upwards - and the successful candidate will join an expanding, top-performing and ambitious hedge fund.
