Executive Headhunters for Hedge Funds

Portfolio Manager Function & UAE Expansion

Portfolio Managers are responsible for the development, implementation and execution of trading strategies within a given asset class or classes. They play a vital role in the management of funds and will often build a team around their strategies. Successful Portfolio Managers have strong analytical capabilities, as well as robust approaches to risk management, portfolio construction, and strategy development. 

Portfolio Manager hiring in Dubai represents a broader trend with the global dominance of multi-PM platforms. The common structure allows several PM’s to be running separate allocations of capital within one institution and has sky-rocketted in popularity. 

With the expansion of hedge funds, family offices and sovereign wealth funds in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, HW Anderson has situated itself as a key partner to platforms who are expanding in the region or looking to gain an initial foothold. Portfolio Managers are often the first key hire for institutions and mark a businesses commitment to growth in the UAE.
