Home/ Expertise
Two seats. No compromise.
We search for the two roles that decide a hedge fund's returns - and nothing else.
Seat one
Chief Investment Officers
For funds building or rebuilding at the top. We search for leaders who can own the investment process, the risk framework and the team around them.
When funds call us
- -A founder steps back from day-to-day investment decisions
- -A platform launches a new strategy or region
- -Performance or governance calls for new leadership
What we assess
Investment philosophy
A process that is clear, repeatable and owned.
Risk discipline
How drawdowns were handled - not only how returns were made.
Team leadership
A record of hiring, developing and keeping investment talent.
Governance fit
Alignment with the fund's owners, board and investors.
“The right Portfolio Manager is rarely looking. Our work starts where job boards end.”

Portfolio Managers
For multi-manager platforms and single-strategy funds adding capacity. We introduce managers whose track record and edge fit the fund's strategy, capital and risk limits.
Strategies we cover
What we assess

03 · Confidentiality
Discretion is not a policy. It is the service.
Consent first
A manager's name goes to a fund only with explicit consent, one introduction at a time.
Need to know
Mandates and track records are shared only with the people deciding.
Paid by the fund
Candidates never pay. Our advice to them is independent and free.
