Portfolio Manager / Assistant PM – Fixed Income Relati…

Location: Paris | Firm: Boutique Global Macro Hedge Fund (~$1bn AUM)

The Opportunity

We are exclusively partnering with a high-growth boutique hedge fund to appoint a Relative Value (RV) Portfolio Manager or Assistant PM to their Paris-based investment team.

Unlike the high-turnover environment of larger multi-strat platforms, our client offers a differentiated buy-side proposition. Backed by stable institutional capital, they provide a longer runway for performance and a mandate that prioritizes high-conviction macro strategy over short-term capital volatility. This is a "build-and-scale" seat designed for an ambitious trader looking for meaningful upside and long-term stability.

Ideal Candidate Profile

This role is specifically designed for high-caliber individuals within asset management or fixed income trading who fit one of the following profiles:

1. The Scaling APM: An Assistant Portfolio Manager currently managing a carve-out or sub-portfolio, ready to step up into a lead portfolio management role with significantly larger capital allocation.
2. The Transitioning Strategist: A senior Macro Strategist or Head of RV Strategy with a deep technical background in interest rates and developed markets , seeking to transition into a direct risk-taking role.

Key Focus Areas & Strategy

The successful candidate will demonstrate expertise in Relative Value trading across Developed Markets (DM) , with a focus on:

1. Interest Rates & Sovereign Bonds: (G10 Rates, Curve, and Basis trading).
2. Volatility & Options: Implementing RV views via linear and non-linear instruments.
3. Cross-Market RV: Identifying dislocations across global fixed income markets.
4. Portfolio Construction: A sophisticated approach to risk-adjusted returns and drawdown management.

Why This Platform?

1. Capital & Scale: Access to competitive allocation with a transparent path to scaling AUM as you perform.
2. Stability: A rare "long-term" view on performance, providing a healthier environment for RV trading than the standard "stop-loss" heavy multi-strat models.
3. Direct Impact: Lean team structure with direct access to senior decision-makers and a collaborative macro strategy framework.
4. Infrastructure: Institutional-grade risk management and execution tech within a boutique, entrepreneurial culture.

Qualifications & Track Record

1. Proven expertise in fixed income relative value (Rates, Inflation, or Volatility).
2. Deep understanding of Developed Markets macro fundamentals.
3. No audited track record required: We value the ability to articulate a robust investment framework, trade ideation process, and risk discipline over a portable historical P&L.
