Portfolio Manager – Systematic Global Macro (Rates/FX Focus) | Singapore

📍 Singapore | On-site/Hybrid | Multi-Strategy Platform

The Mandate

We are partnering with a global multi-strategy firm in Singapore seeking a Portfolio Manager to run a Systematic Global Macro strategy with explicit focus on Rates (DM/EM) and FX (majors/crosses).

Your capital is Asia-Pacific focused but operates globally. The edge here is in EM currency markets and rate differentials that western-based competitors simply can't access as quickly.

The Hard Questions — What You'll Be Solving

🔹 EM Currency Carry Under Central Bank Intervention How do you separate sustainable carry (real positive yields) from dangerous traps? How do you detect central bank intervention before your position blows up?

🔹 Cross-Asset Dislocation Detection USD rates spike faster than USDJPY appreciates — how do you catch that gap systematically and trade the relative-value mismatch before consensus closes it?

🔹 Tail Risk in EM FX During Crisis Your strategy works in normal times. But when taper tantrums hit and liquidity evaporates — how do you stress-test for the scenarios where your hedges fail?

The Structural Edge

▸ Asia-Pacific data advantage — real-time EM central bank datasets and FX microstructure western firms can't match ▸ Multi-currency execution infrastructure — direct settlement, real-time basis trading (USD/CNH, forward points, cross-currency swap spreads) ▸ Collaborative pod structure — 3 other systematic PMs (rates, FX, equity). Zero silos. Your thesis gets stress-tested daily

Ideal Profile

▸ 6–11 years live trading in Global Macro, EM FX, or Systematic Rates ▸ Sharpe ≥ 1.5 over rolling 2-year windows ▸ Profitable in both carry strategies and volatility mean-reversion ▸ Comfortable managing $150M+ in capital ▸ Python, SQL, backtesting frameworks, Bloomberg ▸ Deep EM currency knowledge: USDCNY, USDINR, USDBRL, USDKRW

Compensation

SGD 350K–500K base + performance bonus Full visa sponsorship + 6-month relocation package Candidates with ≤12 months notice/non-compete preferred
