Here at Clifton Global, we use a series of refined techniques and our deep global network to yield exceptional talent across the risk management domain. To date, we continue to place executives into senior risk roles globally, namely Chief Risk Officers and Senior Risk Managers on the buy-side; spanning all asset classes, investment horizons and geographies.

Today, the crux of risk management extends beyond its original genesis of prevention and policing. At Clifton, we purport risk management’s proximity to the investment decision process is closer than ever; helping Portfolio Managers and Business Leads to optimise the profitability of portfolios and challenge trading rationale/ risk appetite. As such, demand for the best talent has since grown exponentially; particularly individuals with the ability to speak to both technical and non-technical audiences alike and navigate more volatile markets.

Our long and established work with top global hedge funds has provided us with a unique and global perspective of the risk market. Attention to detail is key for successful long-term hires. Thus, we thoroughly investigate whether individuals have the ability to question investment decisions and provide actionable insights and advice, whilst assisting with the construction of portfolios.
