Cross Light Capital is a Malaysian SC-regulated fund manager at the forefront of alternative investments. We have been licensed and operating since 2020 and are currently managing six wholesale unit trust funds.

Alternative investments form the cornerstone of our investment philosophy. We specialise in delivering institutional-quality access to strategies and asset classes that fall outside traditional equity and fixed income markets. Our expertise spans systematic trading strategies, hedge funds, private credit, digital assets, and other non-correlated return streams designed to enhance portfolio diversification and risk-adjusted returns.

This role offers the unique opportunity to shape operational excellence at a small and dynamic investment firm with direct exposure to fund management, regulatory engagement, and institutional best practices.

  • Broad understanding of finance, investments, and local regulations
  • Broad understanding of legal documents in the context of fund management (e.g. information memorandums, trust deeds, distribution agreements)
  • Excellent organizational and project management capabilities
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail
  • Ability to work independently and take ownership and accountability of critical functions
  • Effective communication skills
  • Adaptable and comfortable working in a less structured, but dynamic and growing organization
