Investment Process and Research Culture

Discretionary and systematic investment teams differ in research methods, portfolio construction, execution and risk management. Titles may represent fundamental research, quantitative signals, trading execution or portfolio analytics.

Evaluating the Mandate

Ask how ideas are tested, what data and computing resources exist, how risk budgets are determined and how contributions and performance are evaluated.

Ramax welcomes confidential conversations about professional goals and suitable firm environments. Availability of particular positions depends on current client mandates.

Discuss Your Investment and Trading Career Direction

Identify your investment approach, strategies, asset classes and record of research, portfolio construction, trading execution or quantitative development, with the depth of decision authority you want next.
