AP Executive provides executive search and recruitment services to hedge funds, alternative investment managers and specialist investment businesses in London and across the United Kingdom.
London is one of the world's principal centres for hedge fund management and provides access to an exceptional concentration of investment professionals, institutional capital and financial-market expertise.
We support established managers, international investment platforms, specialist funds and growing businesses with senior appointments across investment management, trading, quantitative research, executive leadership, risk, operations, technology, compliance, legal, investor relations and capital raising.

London also offers an unusually broad adjacent talent market. Depending on the mandate, relevant candidates may be identified within asset management, proprietary trading, investment banking, private markets, family offices and financial technology businesses.
Research-Led Search
Many of the strongest hedge fund professionals are established within successful firms and are not actively visible in the recruitment market.
AP Executive uses targeted market research, competitor mapping and direct engagement to identify individuals whose experience is genuinely relevant to the mandate.
For senior investment positions, this means looking beyond job titles to understand investment responsibility, strategy exposure, decision-making authority, risk management and the environment in which performance has been achieved.
Confidential Executive Search
Confidentiality is frequently essential in the London hedge fund market.
We can undertake discreet searches relating to succession, replacement hires, new strategies, team formation or senior appointments where the client's identity needs to remain restricted during the initial stages of the search.
International Reach from London
London's hedge fund market is closely connected with New York, Geneva, Zurich, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong and other international investment centres.
Our international network allows us to consider relevant candidates across jurisdictions where a mandate requires a broader search.
