Roles & Responsibilities

About Us


Symmetry Investments is a global investment company with offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, London, New York, Jersey and Cayman Islands. We have been in business since 2014 after successfully spinning off from a major New York-based hedge fund.

At Symmetry Investments, we seek to engage in intelligent risk-taking to create value for our clients, partners and employees. We derive our edge from our capacity to generate Win-Wins – in the broadest sense. Win-Win is our fundamental ethical and strategic principle. By generating Win-Wins, we can create unique solutions that reconcile perspectives that are usually seen as incompatible or opposites, and encompass the best that each side has to offer:

We integrate fixed-income arbitrage with global macro strategies in a novel way.

We invent and develop technology that focuses on the potential of human-machine integration.

We build systems where machines do what they do best, supporting people to do what people do best.

We are creating a collaborative meritocracy: a culture where individual contribution serves both personal and collective goals - and is rewarded accordingly.

We value both ownership thinking AND cooperative team spirit, self-realization AND community.


The Role

As Symmetry expands its global footprint, we’re looking for a Risk Practitioner to strengthen risk oversight and framework development in the Asia time zone. This role combines two important aspects: supporting risk management for cross asset portfolios, and driving framework development—where you’ll design tools and refine processes to enhance and evolve our risk practices.


Candidate Profile

We look for candidates who bring:

  • A Master's degree in Finance, Economics, or a related quantitative field.
  • 8+ years of experience in risk management, with a preference for those specialising in Fixed Income DM.
  • Proven expertise in designing and implementing risk models, including stress testing and scenio analysis. A strong understanding of pricing, risk sensitivities, and best practices for aggregating portfolio risks is essential.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and a proactive approach to risk analysis and solution development.
  • High proficiency in Python and SQL, with experience in automating processes to enhance efficiency and accuracy. Familiarity with machine learning algorithms for risk analysis (e.g., pattern detection) is a strong plus.
  • A demonstrated ability to manage projects independently while effectively collaborating within a team.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex risk concepts to diverse audiences. Experience in working with investor relations is highly desirable.

First 3-6 Months

In the initial months, you will:

  • Risk Management:Work closely with risk managers to monitor risk limits, assess tail exposures, and analyse trading strategies across asset classes, ensuring alignment with the firm’s risk appetite and product scopes.
    Gain a good understanding of the trade lifecycle across products and the associated risk implications across funds.
    Assist in new product requests and ad-hoc risk inquiries in Asia time zone
  • Framework Development: Enhance the risk framework through individual and collaborative projects, including designing factor-based risk decomposition and improving stress testing framework for macro portfolios
  • Automation & Optimization:Streamline and automate processes using Python, SQL, and in-house programming language.
    Conduct research to develop innovative risk tools and analytics
  • Investor Relation: Prepare quantitative documentation and materials for investors, partnering with the Investor Relations team to ensure clear communication of the fund’s risk positions.
