Systematic Fixed Income Portfolio Manager – Relative Value/ London

EKA Finance is working with an established quantitative investment firm that wants to hire an experienced Portfolio Manager to develop a new systematic fixed-income strategy.

This senior investment role is for someone who has built and managed live systematic strategies and wants to develop a business within an established quantitative platform.

The Role:-

The focus is on systematic relative-value opportunities across fixed income.

Relevant strategies could include:

1. Cross-sectional fixed-income strategies
2. Curve and spread relative value
3. Basis strategies
4. Systematic rates or credit relative value
5. Other market-neutral or low-directional fixed-income approaches

The investment horizon can range from intraday through to several weeks.

You will have significant responsibility for developing the strategy, research process and portfolio from the ground up, working with the firm's existing quantitative and technology infrastructure.

Candidate Profile:-

We are looking for an established Portfolio Manager with a proven live track record .

Candidates should be able to demonstrate:

1. Direct ownership of live systematic fixed-income strategies
2. Genuine portfolio and risk-management responsibility
3. A predominantly relative-value rather than outright directional investment approach
4. Strong quantitative research and portfolio-construction skills
5. Experience taking strategies from research through to live trading
6. A clear understanding of P&L attribution, risk, drawdowns and strategy capacity
7. The ability to build and develop a strategy area rather than simply operate an existing book

A broad range of fixed-income backgrounds can be relevant.

This is not a first-time PM opportunity . We are specifically interested in people who have already held meaningful investment responsibility and can demonstrate the results of strategies they have personally managed.

Candidates do not need to bring a portable strategy or proprietary codebase . The emphasis is on proven ability to generate and manage systematic fixed-income alpha and to build successfully within a new environment.
