Our client, an investment manager with nearly £20bn assets under management, is looking for an Equity Analyst to join the global equity team in London.
The role will focus on the research of companies for potential investment opportunities as well as the ongoing maintenance of research for those stocks in the portfolio, collaborating with other research analysts and portfolio managers.
This is an interesting opportunity to join a unique investment team in the pensions sector. A successful candidate must be willing to engage in periods of solitary research with an awareness that a low percentage of their research will make the portfolio. It is important that the long-term, fundamental investment approach is understood and reciprocated by candidates.
The team dynamic is very important and would be suited to an individual who is collegiate, thoughtful, and autonomous, but understands the need for team debate in a respectful manner.
