Senior Cross-Asset Client Strategist

Role Overview:

We have partnered with a Tier-1 Alternative Investment Manager looking to hire a Senior Cross-Asset Investment Advisor/Strategist to join their highly successful team in London. This is a high-profile, senior role, focusing on discussing trade ideas (and the most effective expressions of a view) with a sophisticated client base, ranging from HNW/UHNW to institutional clients.

The ideal candidate will have a strong fixed income background (as a trader, portfolio manager, or strategist), with any additional experience in cross-asset or structured products being a significant plus. The client base that this team works with is typically sophisticated, and many of the trades being discussed will have multi-layered structures, where derivatives or more complex instruments might be used.

Our client has a long-term track record of excellent investment performance, substantial recent AUM growth, and strong profitability, with ambitious growth plans ahead. The firm`s advisory platform is highly respected, and there is an excellent working culture, with many team members coming from top-tier institutional asset managers, hedge funds, and sell-side institutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Actively discuss trade ideas and investment recommendations across fixed income and other asset classes with a sophisticated client base.
• Work directly with HNW/UHNW and institutional clients, delivering market insights and tailored investment solutions.
• Leverage the firm’s extensive research capabilities and house views to develop high-conviction trade ideas.
• Collaborate closely with senior leadership, including the CEO and portfolio management teams, to ensure best-in-class service and investment performance for clients.
• Provide proactive, ongoing investment guidance, ensuring continuous optimization of client positions.

Requirements & Qualifications:

• 10+ years in a buy-side or sell-side risk-taking or client advisory role.
• Strong fixed income or cross-asset markets knowledge, with a demonstrated ability to generate strong investment returns while prioritizing capital preservation for clients, either in an advisory capacity or as a trader or portfolio manager.
• Strong client-facing experience, with the confidence, ability, and gravitas to interact with sophisticated investors, complemented by best-in-class client management skills.
• Exceptional ability to articulate trade recommendations and rationale to clients clearly and effectively.
• Proactive and hands-on approach, with a strong ability to identify risks and investment opportunities in real time.
• Global mindset, with an ability to think beyond local markets and provide diversified investment perspectives.

This is a unique opportunity to join a firm with an exceptional track record of investment performance and recent growth, in a role that offers high visibility and significant impact within the business.
