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 for an experienced Emerging Markets investor to join a well-capitalised global investment platform that takes a genuinely long-term approach to investing. Unlike traditional multi-manager or pod structures, the platform is designed to support high-conviction investing over extended investment horizons, backed by significant capital, world-class infrastructure and a collaborative investment culture.

The firm is seeking an established Portfolio Manager with a demonstrable history of managing risk and generating returns across liquid Emerging Markets asset classes. This opportunity is particularly well suited to investors currently operating within a hedge fund environment who are looking for a more stable platform where they can continue to compound long-term performance without the short-term pressures often associated with pod-based investing.

The Opportunity

Based in London, you will join an established Global Macro investment team focused on opportunities across the global Emerging Markets universe.

The team invests across a broad range of liquid Emerging Markets asset classes, including:

• Local Rates

• Foreign Exchange

• Commodities

• Equity Indices

Portfolio Managers are entrusted with meaningful capital and the autonomy to express high-conviction investment views while benefiting from close collaboration with experienced macro investors, strategists, quantitative researchers and execution traders.

The investment approach combines long-term secular themes with shorter-term macro opportunities, enabling investors to build diversified portfolios across liquid EM markets while maintaining a disciplined approach to risk management.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage an active Emerging Markets macro portfolio across liquid asset classes.

• Develop and execute a differentiated, fundamentally driven macro investment process.

• Generate high-conviction investment ideas across EM rates, FX, commodities and equity indices.

• Construct and actively manage portfolios with a strong emphasis on risk-adjusted returns and capital preservation.

• Collaborate closely with fellow Portfolio Managers, strategists and researchers to identify macro investment opportunities.

• Contribute to investment discussions around global macro themes and their implications for Emerging Markets.

Candidate Profile

We are keen to speak with Portfolio Managers who have:

• A proven track record of directly managing investment capital and taking discretionary investment risk across Emerging Markets.

• A verifiable history of generating investment returns, ideally within a hedge fund or similar institutional investment environment.

• At least 12 years' experience investing across liquid Emerging Markets asset classes.

• Deep expertise across EM macro markets, including rates, FX, commodities and equity indices.

• A robust, fundamentally driven investment process supported by disciplined portfolio construction and risk management.

• A collaborative mindset and the ability to contribute within a high-performing investment team.

Why Join?

• Join a leading global investment firm through an exclusive retained search.

• Manage significant capital within an established Emerging Markets Macro investment platform.

• Invest with a genuinely long-term perspective rather than under short-term performance constraints.

• Access exceptional research, quantitative and execution resources to support idea generation and portfolio implementation.

• Be part of a collaborative investment culture that values intellectual debate, disciplined risk management and sustainable long-term performance.

• London-based role with global Emerging Markets coverage.
