Global Quantitative Analyst

This is an exceptional opportunity to join the Sydney research unit of an established and highly regarded global equities team working within a major international fund manager.  The team is split between London and Sydney and currently manages over A$30 bn across a range of actively managed global equity strategies using a blend of quantitative inputs.
 
We are seeking a highly motivated candidate with experience of developing and implementing research within global equity strategies.  The potential list of research projects is wide-ranging, covering all elements of equity based research with a particular focus upon valuation, quality, country and currency risk management as well as portfolio construction methodologies.  Strong communication skills are critical as the position will involve liaising with clients and consultants alongside engagement with prospective clients.  The role will often involve strong data manipulation and analysis skill and also the ability to think like a fundamental equity investor.  Some programming knowledge of a statistical language is essential, ideally combined with a background in finance or an economics related field.
 
Whilst our client is open to consider analysts from a variety of industry specialisations, suitable candidates must be able to demonstrate 'intellectual curiosity', coupled with a healthy scepticism in order to look behind the presented data. You will be a passionate investor with a minimum of 10 years' experience in either quantitative equities research or investment strategy that can demonstrate confidence and conviction in your own judgement and decision making ability.
