About this Manager, Crypto Portfolio Optimisation role at Kronos Research

Kronos Research · Hong Kong; Singapore

Job Description

We are seeking a Portfolio Manager (PM) to lead our top-level capital allocation for our crypto portfolio. You will not just manage a book; you will design and execute the "Ensemble Strategy" that dictates how capital flows between strategies and emerging venues. Your mission is to engineer a "Weather-Proof" portfolio that extracts idiosyncratic alpha from disparate markets while maintaining a strictly controlled risk profile.

Responsibilities

  • Dynamic Asset Allocation: Oversee the deployment of capital across the multi-strategies
  • Ensemble Optimisation: Build and maintain quantitative frameworks (Risk Parity, Mean-Variance, or Bayesian models) to determine optimal weights based on real-time volatility and correlation.
  • Regime-Based Hedging: Utilize Prediction Markets and FX to hedge tail risks and macro shifts impacting the core Crypto portfolios.
  • Risk Budgeting: Define and monitor VaR, Stress Tests, and Drawdown limits for individual strategy sleeves.
  • Cross-Asset Research: Identify "Lead-Lag" relationships—e.g., how movement in the US Dollar (DXY) or Treasury yields impacts Crypto liquidity and Commodity pricing.

Requirements

  • Experience: 5-10 years in a Senior Quantitative Allocation role at a fully systematic multi-strat hedge fund, prop shop, or family office.
  • Multi-Asset Mastery: Proven track record managing risk across different systematic strategies. Experience in Prediction Markets (Polymarket, Kalshi) or Event-Driven Trading is a significant plus.
  • The Stack: Expert proficiency in Python (NumPy, Pandas, PyTorch/TensorFlow) and SQL/KDB+.
  • Quantitative Depth: Mastery of portfolio construction mathematics, including covariance matrix estimation and L^2 regularization.
  • Education: Advanced degree (Masters/PhD) in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or Financial Engineering.

Who You Are

  • The Aggregator: You don't just look for "good trades"; you look for how trades fit together to improve the fund's overall Information Ratio.
  • The Risk-First Thinker: You understand that in a levered multi-asset environment, correlation is the silent killer.
  • The Adaptable Architect: You are comfortable transitioning from the 24/7 volatility of Crypto to the structural nuances of the Commodities curve and the binary outcomes of Prediction Markets.
