Caxton Associate Portfolio Manager Programme

What sort of background is needed for this? How much experience do they look for? 

Below is the description of the program:

Caxton Associates has a history of developing world-class investment talent over our 38 year history. As part of our development commitment, we established the Associate Portfolio Manager (APM) Programme in 2012 to foster the next generation of Senior Portfolio Managers. The Programme provides a fantastic pathway for high-potential investors, strong sell-side talent and quantitative analysts to hone their skills as investors.

This initiative has been incredibly successful as a talent pipeline for our Portfolio Manager population. Over a quarter of our current Portfolio Managers joined Caxton through this route, including many of our most senior risk takers.

If you are interested in applying for this Programme, please send your CV, investing track record (if available) and a detailed outline of the proposed investment strategy
