Hi all, I work at an executive search firm recruiting investment professionals for top-tier hedge funds. I just launched a new search looking for a quantitative research analyst. Below is the spec/qualifications: if you think you could be a good fit for this role, please email me your resume to Quant.HF.Recruiter@gmail.com and we can set up a time to discuss the role and your background in greater detail.

Client:An institutional investment office for a single family and its global charitable foundation is seeking a quantitative investment analyst to support its internally managed systematic, quantitatively and thematically driven investment strategies.

The role requires working closely with the firm’s portfolio managers in the construction and management of domestic and international equity focused investment portfolios. These portfolios serve to achieve one or more of the following aims: exploit market inefficiencies with typically a 6 month to multi-year hold period; provide liquid and cost effective access to alternative equity risk premia; and/or express a high conviction macro or thematic view held by the firm.


Qualifications:

- 2 to 5 years relevant work experience in the investment management industry (either sell side or buy side) implementing quantitative approaches to designing and optimizing equity oriented portfolios. In particular, prior professional experience in developing and implementing equity risk premia based strategies is highly desired

- Strong quantitative and advanced statistical skills as well as adept data management and computer programming skills to efficiently manipulate large financial data sets

- A high degree of proficiency with leading financial market databases including Bloomberg as well as statistical packages such as R/Matlab

QUESTIONS:

Please describe your experience implementing quantitative approaches to designing and optimizing equity oriented portfolios.

Are you familiar with Bloomberg and highly proficient in Matlab and R? Please describe/list any other programming languages you are proficient in.

Do you require US work authorization?
