OXBO are partnered with a global investment company. They have been in business since 2015 after successfully spinning off from a major New York-based hedge fund.

They seek to engage in intelligent risk-taking to create value for our clients, partners and employees. They derive their edge from their capacity to generate Win-Wins – in the broadest sense. Win-Win is their fundamental ethical and strategic principle. They create unique solutions that reconcile perspectives that are usually seen as incompatible or opposites, and encompass the best that each side has to offer:

• They integrate fixed-income arbitrage with global macro strategies in a novel way. 
• They invent and develop technology that focuses on the potential of human-machine integration.
• They build systems where machines do what they do best, supporting people to do what people do best.
• They are creating a collaborative meritocracy: a culture where individual contribution serves both personal and collective goals – and is rewarded accordingly. 
• They value both ownership thinking AND cooperative team spirit, self-realization AND community.
