Emerging Markets Macro Portfolio Manager

London

Exclusive Retained Search

Octavius Finance has been exclusively retained by a leading global investment firm to appoint an Emerging Markets Macro Portfolio Manager to join its London-based investment team.

This is a rare opportunity to join a highly regarded investment platform managing significant capital across global Emerging Markets. Unlike a traditional multi-manager or pod structure, this is a long-term strategic hire within a collaborative investment platform that provides substantial capital, exceptional infrastructure and a genuinely long-term investment philosophy.

The firm is looking for an experienced investor with a proven track record of taking active risk across Emerging Markets. This opportunity is ideally suited to someone looking to invest with a longer time horizon, develop high-conviction macro views and generate sustainable long-term returns, supported by a best-in-class investment platform.

The Opportunity

Based in London, you will join an established Global Macro team focused on investing across the global Emerging Markets universe. The team manages significant capital and invests across a broad range of liquid macro asset classes, including:

• Emerging Market Rates & Fixed Income

• Foreign Exchange

• Commodities

• Equity Indices

Portfolio Managers are given the autonomy to manage their own investment book while working within a highly collaborative environment alongside experienced macro investors, strategists, quantitative researchers and execution traders.

The investment approach combines long-term secular themes with shorter-term macro opportunities, allowing Portfolio Managers to express high-conviction views across multiple asset classes while maintaining a disciplined approach to risk management.

Key Responsibilities

• Generate investment returns across global Emerging Markets.

• Develop and implement a robust, fundamentally driven macro investment process.

• Express investment views across EM local rates, local currency debt, hard currency debt, FX, commodities and equity indices.

• Generate differentiated investment ideas in collaboration with the wider macro investment and strategy teams.

• Construct portfolios with a strong focus on risk management and capital preservation.

• Contribute to discussions around global macro themes and Emerging Markets investment opportunities.

Candidate Profile

We are keen to speak with Portfolio Managers who have:

• A minimum of 12 years' experience investing across Emerging Markets.

• A demonstrable track record of taking active investment risk, ideally within a hedge fund, asset management or institutional investment environment.

• Deep expertise across EM macro markets, including rates, sovereign debt, FX and other liquid asset classes.

• A robust, fundamentally driven investment process.

• Strong understanding of global macro themes and their application across Emerging Markets.

• Excellent portfolio construction and risk management capabilities.

• A collaborative approach and the ability to work effectively within a team-oriented investment environment.

Why Join?

• Exclusive retained search with a leading global investment firm.

• Opportunity to manage significant capital within a well-established Emerging Markets Macro platform.

• Collaborative investment culture supported by experienced strategists, quantitative researchers and execution traders.

• A long-term, growth-focused investment philosophy, providing the opportunity to build high-conviction positions and generate strategic returns over an extended investment horizon rather than being driven by short-term trading.

• London-based role with global Emerging Markets coverage and access to world-class investment resources.
