We deliver extensive breadth and flexibility across global public markets providing scalable, liquid, and diversifying returns through our Absolute Return and Long-only Strategies, our targeted customized solutions, and our distinctive capital markets expertise.

The Systematic Strategies Group (SSG) is the internal investing unit of CMF. SSG develops and manages systematic investment strategies across global markets, spanning equities, fixed income, currencies, commodities, credit, and volatility. We invest in absolute return strategies as well as long-only strategies, designed to provide a diversifying return stream to the total fund. Our strategies are scalable, liquid and capital efficient. They seek to capture various patterns of predictability observed in asset return behavior. Our goal is to be at the forefront in all aspects of a systematic investment process; this includes quantitative investment research, efficient implementation, effective risk measurement and management and robust portfolio construction.  Towards this goal, we strive to foster a culture of intellectual rigour, innovation and above all, collaboration and partnership in our team.

Please indicate any team preference in your cover letter when applying.

Our asset class pods are flexible, and there is substantial cross-group collaboration.  Our culture ensures that you will be working in a highly collegial and nurturing environment. Over time, you will gain unparalleled experience in becoming an all-round systematic investor and risk-taker in a highly respected group.
