Role Summary Reporting to a Managing Director within the Dynamic Portfolio Management group, the Portfolio Manager will support the management of Total Fund’s exposures across both strategic and tactical horizons. The role spans currency hedging activities and the management of tactical exposures, with an emphasis on currency portfolio management and effective implementation.

The Portfolio Manager will work closely with teams across TFM to design, evaluate, and implement robust frameworks for Total Fund currency management. While activities are underpinned by systematic, model-driven approaches, the role also involves the application of investment judgement in the management of exposures, including the assessment and execution of adjustments and overrides where appropriate. The role will also contribute to efforts to assess complementarities across strategic and tactical horizons.

Accountabilities & Qualifications Accountabilities

Contribute to the management of Total Fund currency exposures across both strategic hedging and tactical asset allocation horizons, ensuring alignment with intended exposures while delivering value-add.

Partner with other TFM groups to design, evaluate, and evolve the strategic currency hedging framework.

Design value-adding signals for tactical asset allocation, including currency strategies. Work collaboratively with the broader team on the research and implementation of systematic tactical signals and strategies.

Support broader DPM activities, including the management of tactical positioning and strategic exposures.

Apply investment judgement alongside model-driven insights in the management of exposures, including the assessment and implementation of adjustments and overrides within established governance frameworks.

Contribute to the evolution of asset allocation frameworks by assessing interactions between strategic exposures and tactical positioning within a total portfolio context.

Design portfolio modelling and monitoring frameworks to assess exposures, performance, and risk.

Prepare and present analysis, recommendations, and updates to relevant internal committees and stakeholders.

Contribute to cross-team initiatives and broader departmental projects as required.

Qualifications

At least 7-10 years of relevant experience in portfolio management and/or quantitative macro research, ideally within a multi-asset or asset allocation context. Expertise across multiple asset classes, including currency, and a strong understanding of macro drivers of returns and cross-asset linkages are considered assets.

Demonstrated experience independently developing systematic macro investment strategies end-to-end — including signal design, portfolio construction, and performance analysis — using macro, financial, and alternative datasets, and building scalable multi-asset modelling frameworks, with strong proficiency in Python (or comparable).

Experience operating in a market-facing investment role, with a total portfolio perspective that integrates mandate objectives, risk trade-offs, cross-asset interactions, and systematic insights, is an asset.

Experience applying empirical statistical and quantitative techniques to financial and macroeconomic data. Familiarity with AI-assisted coding tools and the ability to leverage them effectively to enhance modeling and portfolio analysis are assets.

Graduate degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related quantitative discipline preferred.

Ability to think critically and creatively, and to exercise sound investment judgement.

Strong collaborative mindset and ability to work effectively with cross-functional stakeholders.

Effective communication skills across a broad range of stakeholders.

Self‑motivated, organised, flexible, and adaptable to changing priorities and new challenges.

Successful candidates must consistently exemplify CPP Investments’ guiding principles of high performance, integrity, and partnership.
