To be recognised as the global leader in delivering superior talent to hedge funds
What's the secret behind our success?
What sets us apart

Every recruitment firm makes promises. Here's what we actually deliver.

Multi-Strat Exclusivity

We don't recruit for banks, asset managers, or private equity. Every member of our team lives and breathes multi-strat and prop firm talent. This singular focus means deeper relationships, better market intelligence, and faster placements.

Strategy-Level Expertise

Our consultants specialize by strategy and asset class. When you speak with us about a macro PM role, you're speaking with someone who understands macro trading, not a generalist reading from a brief.

Confidential by Default

Sensitive searches require discretion. We've built our reputation on handling the most confidential mandates in the industry. Your information is never shared without explicit consent.

Global, Not Remote

With offices in London and New York and active coverage across EMEA, UAE, and APAC, we operate where the talent and the funds are.

Deep networks across the hedge fund talent market

Our consultants focus on specialist areas of the hedge fund market, developing detailed market knowledge and long-standing relationships.
