We are working exclusively with a successful boutique asset manager looking to hire an experienced Quantamental Equity Portfolio Manager into its established equities team.

Reporting into a Senior Quantitative Portfolio Manager and Partner, this is an opportunity to join an existing successful investment platform while having genuine ownership and influence over the investment process. The successful candidate will contribute to existing strategies while also helping to research, develop and ultimately launch new products and investment strategies.

This is not a fully systematic quantitative role. We are looking for someone who sits at the intersection of quantitative research, fundamental investing and portfolio management, and who can use quantitative techniques to inform real-world investment decisions.

The role would suit an existing quantitative or quantamental equity PM, but we would also consider a senior quantitative equity researcher from the sell side who has strong institutional client exposure and previous experience managing money.

Key responsibilities will include:

1. Contributing to the management and continued development of existing equity strategies
2. Developing quantitative and data-driven approaches to stock selection and portfolio construction
3. Combining quantitative signals with fundamental and market insights to generate investment ideas
4. Researching and developing new strategies and investment products
5. Taking genuine ownership of projects from initial research through to implementation
6. Working closely with senior members of the investment team on portfolio construction, risk and investment decisions
7. Presenting the investment philosophy, research and portfolio positioning to institutional clients and prospects

We are looking for candidates with:

1. Strong experience in quantitative or quantamental equities
2. Previous portfolio management or direct money-management experience
3. A strong understanding of equity markets, stock selection and portfolio construction
4. The ability to combine quantitative research with fundamental investment judgement
5. Experience developing investment strategies, models or products rather than purely implementing an existing process
6. Strong client-facing and communication skills, with the ability to explain sophisticated investment concepts to institutional investors
7. A collaborative and entrepreneurial mindset

Candidates could come from an asset management, hedge fund or senior sell-side quantitative equity research background. For sell-side candidates, previous hands-on money-management experience will be important.

The opportunity should particularly appeal to someone who wants to move away from a large, highly segmented organisation and join a more entrepreneurial environment where they can have real ownership of their work, contribute to an already successful investment process and play a meaningful role in building the next generation of strategies and products.
