About This Role
Overview
A leading global finance firm is seeking a talented Associate to join their Dubai-based investment team.
This high-calibre platform manages multi-billion dollar public markets portfolios across global equities, fixed income, commodities, and liquid alternatives.
This role is ideal for someone with proven Strategic Asset Allocation and Tactical Asset Allocation experience and direct exposure to hedge fund manager selection and oversight who is ready to step into a senior analytical role with real ownership and visibility.
Key Responsibilities
- Reporting to the Head of Public Markets, you will be a core contributor across:
- Strategic Asset Allocation (SAA) — building capital market assumptions, running optimisation and scenario studies, and preparing governance-ready allocation recommendations for Investment Committee and Board
- Tactical Asset Allocation (TAA) & Macro Research — developing TAA signals across equities, rates, credit, FX and commodities; back-testing strategies and implementing views via ETFs, derivatives, and overlays
- Hedge Funds & Liquid Alternatives — evaluating and overseeing external managers including hedge funds (long/short, macro, risk premia); full manager lifecycle from due diligence through ongoing monitoring
- Portfolio Construction & Risk Analytics — multi-asset optimisation, factor decomposition, risk budgeting, ex-ante/ex-post attribution
- Governance & Reporting — producing investment analytics packs, dashboards, and presentations for senior stakeholders
Skills & Experience
- 2–4 years in public markets investing at a sovereign wealth fund, family office, or asset manager
- Hands-on SAA and TAA experience — capital market assumptions, optimisation, scenario analysis, macro-to-portfolio translation
- Direct hedge fund exposure — manager selection, due diligence, performance monitoring
- Risk systems fluency: Barra, Axioma, RiskMetrics, Bloomberg, Datastream
- Programming skills: Python or R, SQL, Excel/VBA
- CFA or equivalent advanced qualification
Why This Role Stands Out
This position offers the opportunity to work within a sophisticated institutional investment platform with significant assets under management.
You will gain exposure to the full spectrum of public markets investing while working alongside senior investment professionals in a dynamic Dubai-based environment.
