Job description

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 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.

At Caxton Associates, we have a longstanding tradition of nurturing premier investment talent. Our commitment to professional development led to the creation of the comprehensive two-year Associate Portfolio Manager (APM) Program in 2012. This program is an exceptional pathway for high-potential buy-side investors, outstanding sell-side trading talent, or world-class quantitative analysts across a spectrum of hedge fund disciplines, including discretionary macro, systematic macro, emerging markets macro, systematic trading, equity long-short, and event-driven strategies.

The APM Program offers immersive exposure and intensive training, refining participant's investment skills with the ultimate objective of enabling advancement to a senior Portfolio Manager position within Caxton. Over a quarter of our current Portfolio Managers, many of whom are now our most respected PMs, have risen through this very program, underscoring its success.

We are currently seeking candidates with a level of experience between 3 to 10 years in either asset management, hedge funds and/or market making. The ideal candidate should have expertise in, and ideally direct experience implementing, the proposed investment strategy and related markets. We appreciate entrepreneurial risk-takers with a desire to build and grow their investment strategy. The ability to work both independently and collaboratively with various stakeholders is crucial, as is a demonstrated capacity for continuous growth and evolution.

If you harbor an unwavering passion for the financial markets, possess a strong work ethic, and meet the above criteria, we invite you to apply. Please submit your CV, investment track record (if available), and a detailed outline of your proposed investment strategy. A comprehensive strategy outline is a critical component of your application.

We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to explore your potential and welcome your contribution to the continuing legacy of Caxton.
