Portfolio Manager / Assistant PM – Fixed Income Relative Value - Octavius Finance

Location

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

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

• 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.
• 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

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

Why This Platform?

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

Qualifications & Track Record

• Proven expertise in fixed income relative value (Rates, Inflation, or Volatility).
• Deep understanding of Developed Markets macro fundamentals.
• 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.
