Quantitative Researcher
We are seeking a highly skilled Quantitative Researcher to join a dynamic team of discretionary long/short equity portfolio managers. This is a strategic, risk-focused role that sits at the intersection of quantitative modeling, portfolio construction, and fundamental investing.
This position is ideal for someone who thrives in a collaborative, high-performance environment and is passionate about applying quantitative techniques to support real-world investment decisions. You will work directly with PMs to optimize portfolio construction, manage risk exposures, and translate complex quantitative insights into actionable strategies.
This is not a traditional alpha-generating quant role. Instead, it is a front-office risk and analytics position with high visibility and direct impact on portfolio outcomes. The successful candidate will possess a strong understanding of equity markets, long/short strategies, and factor modeling, along with excellent communication skills and the ability to work seamlessly with discretionary investors.
Key Responsibilities
- Collaborate with discretionary PMs to design and implement portfolio construction frameworks that align with investment objectives.
- Optimize capital allocation across strategies, sectors, and risk factors using quantitative techniques.
- Ensure portfolios are structured to achieve desired exposures while minimizing unintended risks.
- Develop and maintain custom risk factor models tailored to discretionary long/short equity strategies.
- Integrate third-party models (e.g., Axioma, BARRA) with proprietary analytics to enhance risk visibility and decision-making.
- Monitor factor exposures and provide real-time feedback to PMs on portfolio sensitivities and potential adjustments.
- Serve as a bridge between quantitative research and discretionary investing teams.
