Hedge Fund recruitment insights
Hedge Fund Recruitment FAQs
Singapore combines strict MAS regulation with a fast-moving and internationally focused financial environment. Hedge funds must balance global standards with regional knowledge, especially when trading APAC markets. Hiring is highly competitive, with a strong emphasis on technical ability, regulatory awareness and cultural fit within lean, performance-driven teams.
Yes. We recruit talent already based in Singapore as well as professionals from major global financial centres such as Hong Kong, London, New York and Tokyo. Many firms also require bilingual or multilingual candidates who understand Asian markets. We focus on individuals who can adapt to local regulation, culture and performance expectations.
There is strong demand for portfolio managers, investment analysts, traders and quantitative specialists across strategies such as long/short equity, global macro, event-driven and systematic. As funds scale, they are also hiring COOs, CFOs, risk managers and investor relations professionals to support institutional growth and operational efficiency.
The market is very competitive. Singapore attracts both global hedge funds and top-tier professionals, but the pool of experienced local talent is limited. Strong candidates often receive multiple offers and expect attractive compensation, career visibility and long-term stability. A fast, structured hiring process is essential to secure the best people.
Absolutely. We work with both established platforms and new entrants setting up in Singapore. We support first hires, team build-outs, market insight and compensation benchmarking. We also understand MAS expectations and help identify candidates with the right regulatory and operational experience. Our long-term approach helps funds scale effectively across APAC.
