US Equities Portfolio Manager – Systematic MFT

Location: Global (All Major Financial Hubs or Fully Remote)

Company: Tier 1 Systematic $20b+ AUM Hedge Fund

Venture Search is partnering with one of the world’s leading systematic investment platforms, backed by a global multi-strategy hedge fund with $20bn+ AUM and a decades-long track record across the financial markets.

The firm’s systematic business is a significant institutional platform, with hundreds of professionals globally and dedicated teams building and deploying computer-driven strategies across liquid asset classes. The platform combines the entrepreneurialism of individual investment teams with the capital, technology, data and research resources of a world-class global hedge fund.

This is a global mandate for an exceptional US Equities Portfolio Manager to bring and scale a proven systematic strategy within an established, highly sophisticated infrastructure.

The ideal candidate will have a strong track record in fully systematic, medium-frequency US equities, with $20m+ in annual PnL highly preferred.

The Opportunity

This is not a research-only role. The successful PM will have genuine ownership of their investment strategy, with responsibility spanning alpha generation, portfolio construction, execution, risk and ongoing strategy development.

The firm is particularly interested in PMs who have built strategies from the ground up and have demonstrated the ability to generate significant, persistent and scalable returns.

You will have access to:

• Significant institutional capital and the ability to scale a proven strategy.
• Extensive alternative and market data resources.
• World-class quantitative research and engineering capabilities.
• Sophisticated execution, infrastructure and risk management.
• A global network of systematic investors and researchers.
• The freedom to continue developing your own investment ideas while benefiting from a highly established platform.

The Role

• Run and own a fully systematic US Equities MFT strategy.
• Take responsibility for the complete investment process from research and signal generation through to portfolio construction, execution and risk.
• Bring an existing strategy, track record and differentiated source of alpha to the platform.
• Continue developing and enhancing the strategy using the firm’s extensive data, technology and research capabilities.
• Manage and scale meaningful capital while maintaining a disciplined approach to risk.
• Work alongside highly experienced quantitative researchers, developers and systematic PMs globally.
• Potentially build out a broader team around your strategy as it scales.

Ideal Background

• Established US Equities PM, Quant Trader or Systematic Portfolio Manager.
• Proven track record running fully systematic equity strategies.
• Strong MFT / medium-frequency trading background.
• Ideally $20m+ in annual PnL with a strong Sharpe and demonstrable consistency.
• Deep understanding of US equities and systematic alpha generation.
• Strong quantitative and technical capabilities.
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership of a strategy and operate with significant independence.
• Candidates with an existing team, research infrastructure or proprietary strategy are particularly interesting.

Why This Platform

For the right PM, this represents an opportunity to move beyond simply running a book and build something substantially larger.

You will be joining a systematic business that has been developing quantitative investment strategies for more than 30 years, with hundreds of professionals globally and a dedicated focus on computer-driven investing. The wider firm has a presence across major financial centres including New York, London and Singapore, creating a genuinely global investment environment.

The platform offers the combination that is difficult to find elsewhere: substantial capital, institutional-grade infrastructure, deep quantitative talent and the autonomy to own and develop a differentiated investment strategy.
