  • Mentor junior researchers and contribute to the broader advancement of the firm’s quant research capability.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in quantitative research or model development, ideally within fixed income asset management.
  • Strong expertise in portfolio construction, systematic strategy design, and risk modelling.
  • Advanced programming skills in Python; C++ or Java knowledge is an advantage.
  • Solid understanding of stochastic modelling, econometrics, and optimization techniques.
  • PhD (preferred) or advanced degree in a quantitative discipline such as Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or Financial Economics.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex ideas to investment professionals.
  • Preferred Experience

  • Experience developing yield curve, factor, or relative value models.
  • Familiarity with large datasets, simulation techniques, and scalable infrastructure.
  • Proven record of applying quantitative research to live investment portfolios.
  • This is an outstanding opportunity to join a globally recognized investment platform where quantitative research plays a central role in the investment process.
