Equity Quant Fund Manager – Quantamental - Asset Manager

Overview

Octavius Finance, a leading recruiter within quantitative investing and fund management, is currently leading an exclusive search for an Equity Quant Fund Manager to join a highly successful London-based investment team.

This opportunity would suit either:

• An individual already managing money within a quanta mental/Quantitative equity framework; or
• A high-quality quantitative equity researcher or strategist with strong market intuition and a genuine desire to transition into risk-taking and portfolio management.

The strategy sits firmly within the quanta mental equities space, combining quantitative research, macro inputs, and fundamental thinking within an active equity investment process. The client is specifically looking for someone who is passionate about markets and investing, rather than a purely academic or isolated quant profile.

The successful candidate will work closely with senior investors on:

• Equity portfolio construction and risk allocation
• Country and sector rotation research
• Equity signal research and alpha generation
• Fundamental and quantitative stock selection frameworks
• Factor research including Value, Growth, Momentum and Quality
• Development of scalable systematic equity investment processes
• Top-down equity allocation and thematic investing

The team is particularly interested in individuals with:

• A strong quantitative or systematic equities background
• A fundamentally minded approach to equity investing
• A genuine appetite for taking risk and managing money
• Experience researching or building systematic equity signals, screens, allocation models or portfolio construction frameworks
• Strong understanding of equity markets, factors and macro drivers impacting equities
• Programming experience in Python, R or similar quantitative languages

Relevant backgrounds could include:

• Quantitative Equity Research
• Equity Strategy Research
• Quanta mental Equity Investing
• Systematic Equity Signal Research
• Equity Factor Research

The role offers genuine long-term growth potential within an established and well-regarded investment platform, alongside significant exposure to senior decision-makers and portfolio management responsibilities over time. Client-facing exposure would also be viewed positively, though is not essential.

Applicants must already be based in the UK or have the right to work in the UK.
Relocation will not be offered.
