Junior Trader

A London-based investment boutique specialising in a global long/short equity strategy for professional investors. Since its inception in 2015, the firm has delivered top-decile performance, achieving approximately 320% net returns, with notable outperformance during market downturns. Navigating bear markets is a key strength, evidenced by strong positive returns during recent sell-offs and record performance in 2022 (+46.8%) when global equity and bond markets declined sharply.

Given its robust returns and negative correlation during market stress, the firm’s vision is to become a core component of diversified portfolios worldwide, complementing traditional ETF allocations. The firm’s goal is to ensure investors can both smile at their returns and sleep soundly during market volatility.

The firm is seeking a Junior Trader who is analytical, ambitious, and passionate about investing. This individual will be actively involved in all aspects of the investment process — from idea generation and research to portfolio construction, trade execution, and risk management.

Working closely with senior team members, the successful candidate will identify and evaluate global investment opportunities using both quantitative and fundamental analysis. Responsibilities include:

• Building and maintaining a diversified long/short equity portfolio
• Executing trades across multiple markets
• Applying disciplined risk management to preserve capital and enhance returns
• This position is ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment and is motivated to make a tangible impact on both investment performance and firm growth.
