Vice President, Business Development

About the company

SuPra Fund Management is a MAS-licensed fund of funds manager based in Singapore. We build diversified portfolios of specialist alternative investment managers, many of them niche firms that most investors would find hard to access or diligence on their own.

We offer multi-manager hedge fund portfolios, from low-volatility cash-enhancement solutions to diversifying, low-correlation alpha strategies, and give investors selective access to private equity and venture capital opportunities.

We are a small, senior team of portfolio managers and investment professionals, guided by experienced advisors from major banks and investment houses.

Your tasks

A senior, visible role raising assets for a Singapore fund of funds manager. You will sell a process that investors cannot easily build themselves, work side by side with the portfolio managers, and directly shape the firm's growth.

Our investment process is thorough and data-driven

• Manager sourcing and selection. Managers come from our own proprietary network and our relationships with major financial institutions. Each one goes through in-depth quantitative analysis, operational due diligence and on-site visits. Only a small subset pass.

• Investor-led portfolio design. Each investor's objectives are set out at the start and reviewed through ongoing dialogue for as long as they are invested.

• Portfolio construction and risk management. We model managers with in-house optimisation tools, stress testing and correlation analysis. The aim is consistent returns across market cycles, not just in good markets. Portfolios are monitored continuously and rebalanced regularly.

This is a client-facing role that raises assets for our fund products. You will cover private banks, family offices, external asset managers and institutional investors in Singapore and the region.

We build each solution around what the client needs, so the job starts with understanding each investor's objectives and matching them to the right portfolio. Investors are buying our ability to find, vet and combine managers they cannot access or diligence themselves. You will explain that edge with confidence: how managers are sourced and selected, why low correlation matters, how a portfolio behaves under stress, and what returns investors can expect.

You will work closely with the portfolio managers and the investment team, joining manager reviews and portfolio discussions, so that what you tell clients rests on a real understanding of the portfolios.

• Build and convert a pipeline of private banks, external asset managers, and multi-family and single-family offices, focused on Singapore and the region.

• Run investor discovery: understand each client's investment goals and position the right solution.

• Present our manager selection process, portfolio construction and risk framework to investors.

• Win private bank and platform approvals, and lead the investor due diligence process, with support from the investment and operations teams.

• Keep existing investors informed with regular performance commentary, to drive retention and top-ups.

• Keep the CRM accurate and report on pipeline, conversion and assets raised.

• Follow MAS marketing rules, accredited investor requirements and KYC/AML procedures at every stage.
