A large asset management company are seeking a new equity researcher to add to their already successful team which has recently been achieving top quartile performance. You will play a very important role on the team by researching and rating equity fund managers and new products. The team is very successful at the moment and has a high profile in the market and on the company’s global merit. You will also have the opportunity to be able to work with other equity researchers globally and be responsible for researching a range of equity products from beginning to end.
The key responsibilities include:
- Play a role in the researching of equity products - both long only and long/short.
- Preparation of research notes and product profiles used to communicate the research findings to consultants and clients. Sponsor the ratings of these products to the relevant ratings review committee.
- Carrying out quantitative analysis to support this research effort.
- Explaining the research findings to Mercer consultants and their clients.
- Representing Mercer within the investment management community and developing relationships with managers.
- Ability to articulate the process and manager views externally to clients, both existing and in new business situations.
The ideal candidate should have;
Experience in investment management within a fund management organisation. (Possibly, the person may have latterly fulfilled another function within a fund management organisation - e.g. client service or marketing). Alternatively, the candidate should have a sound knowledge of investment management processes gained through other experience - probably manager research.
- Decisive. Must be comfortable making decisions using qualitative data supported by some quantitative data.
- Sound intellect, capable of understanding conceptually complex issues and explaining them in terms that others can understand.
- Ability to "read between the lines" to understand personnel issues within fund management organisations.
- Capable of writing concise and logically argued research reports in a timely manner, sometimes to tight deadlines.
- Happy to work in an environment where written output is equally as important as verbal communication.
- A team player, with sound interpersonal and communication skills
- Stable record of employment showing a clear progression of responsibility.
You will be mentored and will work closely with a senior investment professional within the research space. This is an amazing opportunity on the buy-side to use skills you have crafted over the years. Candidates with excellent time management skills are essential as your role is likely to cover more than one sector.
A lucrative bonus structure is on offer and the firm is currently holding interviews; and the manager is keen to see more candidates.
