THE ROLE:

Working directly alongside Senior Partners and Portfolio Managers, you will participate in the full investment lifecycle—from sourcing and due diligence to portfolio construction and ongoing monitoring—across a broad range of alternative strategies and geographies.

This is a front-office role with real responsibility: you will engage directly with fund managers, attend Investment Committee discussions, and contribute to live decision-making for institutional mandates.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Fund Sourcing & Due Diligence

•         Identify and source new fund investment opportunities across hedge fund, private debt, and alternative strategies.

•         Conduct in-depth qualitative and quantitative due diligence on fund managers, evaluating track records, team stability, operational infrastructure, and strategy alignment.

•         Participate in on-site due diligence meetings and manager calls (travel may be required).

Portfolio Construction & Monitoring

•         Assist Portfolio Managers in building and rebalancing diversified fund-of-funds portfolios aligned with client mandates.

•         Monitor existing fund positions through performance attribution, risk analysis, and peer group comparison.

•         Prepare portfolio reporting and contribute to quarterly client reviews.

Research & Analytics

•         Produce investment research notes and strategy outlook pieces for internal and client use.

•         Maintain and enhance internal databases and analytics tools—programming skills (Python, VBA, or similar) are a strong plus.

•         Analyze market trends, strategy performance drivers, and industry dynamics to inform allocation decisions.
