Equity Research Analyst, European Fund Management recruitment

Our client is a top European asset management firm. They are one of the most successful blue chip names, and they are now looking to hire an Equity Research Analyst to their team, to focus on the coverage of European companies.

The role will focus on the identification and analysis of investment opportunities.  This will involve, inter alia, meeting companies, sector and market research, financial modelling and analysis, and making recommendations to the portfolio managers as to which stocks they should hold in their portfolios.

We are really interested in meeting candidates who will have a background as follows:

(1) buy side analysts from other blue chip names

(2) sell side analysts from major firms looking to make a move to the buy side

(3) there is some flexibility as to the level of candidate hired, but its probably likely that you will have 5 - 10 years + experience

(4) candidates will have great academics, and ideally the CFA qualification
