IR Manager/EAM

Macrowaters Asia Fund Management Limited • Full Time • Central and Western District, Hong Kong, HK • 1w ago

Successful institutional fundraising exp a plus
Even the underdog can do well if given a chance
Create or bring solid connections

Why work?

Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Inc, one of the greatest companies in the 50 years said: "The only way to do great work is to love what you do"

And to do that you got to understand the next sentence: "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life."

As Life is Hard even with good basic pay, many are trapped with unhappiness.

Thus, if you can 'Think Different' like Steve Jobs and look beyond the monthly paycheck, you are at the right place for a start.

There are no guarantees in life but at least pursue your passion and be well rewarded, not just monetary wise but also get a sense of complete achievement.

This is a IR role that can lead to a Type 9 Asset Management role or even RO SFC type 9 for EAM.

But we can consider those from discretionary private client accounts with min. 2 years experience in fund management, family office, private banking, PE or IR experience. Being hungry and eager to learn to upskill for those with lesser experience in finance or investing.

Numbers matter and those with UHNW/corporate clients network are preferred or the ability to find.

Our focus is on getting the "Job to be done" for investors - a truly challenging & rewarding task to attain 'consistent lower risk' long-term performance - innovative & better.

Strive to be best of best, don't take orders from top with little common sense for clients or integrity of the job: think like a scientist, doctor, lawyer but act with unbridled creativity like an artist, designer, musician

"Art + Science doer". Humble and hungry for success yet take failure with stride to rise above it all for yourself & for team and for clients, always. Customer-centric is what makes firms great not making top dollar for the firm first. Being careful in risk management is as critical as making money.

Not the "What".

Those looking for a job with big brand names instead of "performance" driven culture - stop reading, please apply to billion $ AUM funds or big banks.

Warren Buffett said once about Benjamin Graham his guru – ‘he believed that the markets are wrong’ – this totally run contrary to what many market analysts or economists believe the market is priced in and cannot make excess gain (efficient market hypothesis).

Macro hedge fund managers like George Soros & Jim Rogers also held the same view and Sir John Templeton a value investor was agile to short-sell tech stocks when 2000 dotcom bubble burst going against Wall St consensus. Jesse Livermore is no different from Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett who say being patient to great opportunities is the key to big returns. Trend is your friend.

Thus, we seek a HIP, 'unconventional / rebel' with courage to seek a refreshing change. High confidence, don't accept no to get the best results for clients; challenge status quo, good knowledge of financial markets (always learning & questioning) and courage & perspective to be a pragmatic risk-taker. An 'artisan' in a 'maison'.

If you can bring value to the table - with both skills and "network", let's talk for larger "total package - including % performance bonus". Far too many make conjectures. Talk is cheap, actions are real.

Yes, we seek "hidden gems" that may or may not have 'Ivy League or pedigree work backgrounds or connections', but a strong desire to work hard & innovate to win, even stronger desire to stand up after falling. Even the underdog can do well if given a chance. The sky is the limit to a degree.

The ability to learn new skills such as ESG, AI, PE/VC and social impact key to making persuasive client adoption of new ideas to capture emerging trends. ESG / Sustainability is a big market opportunity often overlooked and we keep it "in the investment process" as climate change, healthcare education are symbiotic to human existence. Yet being patient/aggressive balanced with humble composure, resilience and street smarts, not IQ only.
