FRONT OFFICE SEARCH

Investment Talent Has to Fit the Strategy.

A successful investment or trading hire is not defined by title alone. Strategy, asset class, holding period, risk budget, process, technology, and team structure all influence whether a person will succeed.

Ramax approaches these mandates by understanding the investment process first, then mapping the people whose experience is genuinely relevant to the role.

That can include discretionary and systematic investing, trading, research, execution, portfolio support, and quantitative work across multiple asset classes.

THE INVESTMENT LANDSCAPE
