Quantitative Researcher

What you will be doing

Develop and improve risk-parity and macro quantitative investment strategies across financial markets within the dedicated China research team.

Take ownership of the full investment lifecycle — from alpha generation and portfolio construction through to trade execution and implementation — with a particular focus on risk-balanced allocation frameworks across asset classes.

Work closely with team members to create and support strategies by:

• Alpha Generation & Strategy Development: Identify new investment ideas and innovative data sources across macro themes, asset classes, and risk factors relevant to risk-parity frameworks.
• Data & Modeling: Gather and refine complex datasets; apply statistical analysis and quantitative modeling to build and improve risk models, correlation frameworks, volatility estimation, and return forecasting models central to risk-parity construction.
• Portfolio Construction & Implementation: Participate in research on risk-budgeting methodologies, dynamic leverage, diversification, and rebalancing strategies, as well as trading cost models and execution optimization.
• Interpretation & Decision-Making: Synthesize and interpret model outputs to drive portfolio decisions, with the ability to clearly communicate the rationale, risk exposures, and performance attribution of strategies to internal stakeholders.
• External Representation: Serve as a credible and articulate spokesperson for the strategies externally — engaging with investors and distributors to present investment philosophy, portfolio construction logic, performance, and risk management in a compelling and transparent manner.
