Join Man Systematic’s Quant Intern Program with an opportunity to work alongside the Systematic Quantitative Research and Portfolio Management teams.

Within the Quant Research team, you will conduct research and develop strategies which will improve our trading of financial markets in equities and across the business in general. You will develop and enhance quantitative investment strategies using statistical and quantitative techniques, including econometrics, machine learning, and/or AI. In addition to developing new trading strategies, you will also get the opportunity to conduct research on various implementation aspects of quant strategies such as optimization, transaction cost, and portfolio construction.

Within the Portfolio Management teams, you will gain exposure to a broad spectrum of research, investment, and technical tasks – gaining exposure to what it means to own a quant strategy for a client. That will involve both validating the inputs of our models as well as the output from the quantitative signals used to make buy/sell decisions. You will monitor portfolio risk and country/sector exposures, analyze portfolio returns, and conduct analysis for client communications. You will analyze the output of our portfolio construction process to ensure the integrity of our investment philosophy, assist research and portfolio management teams with enhancing existing signals, and create new signals.  You will potentially rotate through the Fixed Income, Equities (EM or DM), Alternatives or Tax Aware portfolio management teams.
