Boutique Asset Manager – Buyside Equity Analyst
The boutique European Equities fund of a large traditional Asset Management firm is looking to add an Equity Analyst to work directly alongside the Fund Manager, a specialist in the long-term equity space.
The fund adopts a very long-term bias to its investment strategies, guaranteeing deep dive value, low turnover and valuation-focused portfolios. The fund is being managed by a Senior Fund Manager who has over a decade of direct experience. Thus, they are looking for an analyst with buyside experience on long or short strategies and an entrepreneurial drive to succeed.
Day-to-day responsibilities for the role:
- Focused research – As the team is still very compact in structure, research will be specific to long value investments and stocks.
- Contributing to European, CEEMEA and Emerging Market portfolios
- Presentations – the stock selections will be presented within the team on a biweekly basis in an informal manner. Company culture is a very high priority to the managers.
- Due Diligence – the deep dive value investment strategy of the fund will require that candidates show thorough stock inspection.
The right candidate should have:
- Buyside experience – it has been specified that an analyst with either long/only or long/short will be considered but that 2 years experience on the buyside is a minimum
- Entrepreneurially driven –the fund is quite small and the investments will be split between just five analysts and so a motivated drive for long-term stocks is key
- A generalist sector coverage – equally a multitude of sector coverages at different funds will also be considered. Predominantly Consumer, Industrials and Healthcare stocks will be observed and so experience in these is also important.
- A strong academic record
What you have here is an ideal opportunity for current buyside equity analysts to move to an expert long value and long term Fund whilst still in its expansion phase in the team sat directly with the Managing Partners and Founders. They are equity research and company culture driven and so you must display an intellectual curiosity and drive for stock selection to thrive in this fund.
Should you be a buyside equity analyst with a minimum of two years experience in this space and you are interested to move to a long-term value private investment firm in a highly skilled and small team then this is an opportunity you simply cannot miss.
As interview processes are already underway, it is essential that you apply now.
