Fixed Income Proprietary Trader – LATAM & ARS

AP Capital is a global investment firm running alpha-driven proprietary strategies across equities, commodities, FX, and fixed income. We're hiring a Proprietary Fixed Income Trader to run a standalone own-account book across LATAM local currency sovereign bonds with Argentina (ARS) as a core market plus selected USD global bonds and related FX/rates.

Coverage spans the region's local-currency markets, including Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Chile. You bring your own edge, deploy risk capital, and are measured on the P&L you generate independently.

Responsibilities

• Run a proprietary book in LATAM local currency bonds (including ARS), USD global bonds, and related FX/rates with alpha-driven P&L on own account, client flow.
• Develop short- to medium-term relative-value and directional strategies driven by regional macro, fiscal, and political developments.
• Manage rate, credit, and currency risk with disciplined sizing and stop-loss controls.
• Track LATAM macro and central bank policy, with particular sensitivity to Argentina's capital controls and debt dynamics.

Requirements

• 3+ years proprietary trading in LATAM local currency bonds with a standalone P&L track record; direct ARS experience strongly preferred.
• Solid grasp of LATAM macro, central bank policy, and sovereign debt dynamics.
• Proven independent risk management and P&L generation in volatile EM conditions.
• English required; Spanish or Portuguese a strong plus.
• Bachelor's in Finance, Economics, or related; advanced degree or CFA a plus.
