Buy side recruitment insights
Buy side recruitment FAQs
Hong Kong itself is the central hub, home to regional headquarters of global asset managers, hedge funds, private equity firms, and family offices. Selby Jennings has a strong presence in this market, connecting firms with professionals across all buy side sectors.
Private equity, hedge funds, asset management, and family offices are dominant. ESG-focused investing and alternatives, such as private credit and real assets, are growing quickly.
Timelines can be extended due to competition for bilingual (English and Cantonese or Mandarin) talent, regulatory requirements, and specialist skill shortages. Notice periods typically last one to three months. Selby Jennings helps reduce delays by providing firms with pre-vetted candidates ready to move.
Private equity and deal origination experience, hedge fund portfolio management and quant strategies, ESG and sustainable finance knowledge, cross-border and Greater China investment expertise, and compliance and risk skills aligned with SFC regulations are highly valued.
We provide local market expertise in Hong Kong backed by a global network. Our consultants deliver compensation insights, hiring trend reports, and customised recruitment strategies. By focusing on cultural fit as well as technical ability, we help firms secure the right professionals to drive long-term growth.
