Job description

About the job

Investment Banking Analyst – M&A, Capital Markets & Asset Management

Swiss Finance operates across major financial centers including New York, London, Zurich, and Stockholm, working at the intersection of investment banking, asset management, and hedge fund capital.

Swiss Finance is hiring Investment Banking Analysts to work across M&A, capital markets, asset management, and hedge fund-related mandates, with direct exposure to institutional investors, deal analysis, and buy-side capital flows.

This role is designed for graduates and early-career professionals targeting careers in investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, or asset management, as well as career switchers from adjacent fields seeking a transition into high finance.

Role Overview

As an Investment Banking Analyst, you will support live M&A analysis, capital raising, and asset management workflows, while working closely with senior team members on investor-facing initiatives and buy-side research. This role combines sell-side style execution with buy-side exposure, offering insight into how deals are evaluated, capital is raised, and investment decisions are made in practice.

Key Responsibilities

• Support M&A analysis, transaction research, and deal screening
• Assist with financial modeling, valuation frameworks, and investment analysis
• Conduct research on hedge funds, asset managers, and alternative investment strategies
• Support capital markets and capital raising initiatives
• Participate in investor outreach, allocator research, and institutional engagement
• Assist with preparation of pitch materials, investment memoranda, and presentations
• Analyze market trends across equities, credit, and alternative assets
• Support trading, portfolio strategy, and asset allocation discussions
• Maintain deal trackers, investor pipelines, and CRM systems
• Participate in internal strategy sessions and investment briefings

Ideal Candidate Profile

This role is well-suited for candidates who:

• Hold or are completing a degree in finance, economics, business, engineering, mathematics, or related fields
• Are targeting careers in investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, asset management, or trading
• Are interested in M&A, buy-side investing, and capital markets
• Have strong analytical and communication skills
• Are motivated, disciplined, and comfortable in fast-paced environments
• Are open to learning both sell-side and buy-side perspectives

Prior banking experience is not required. Intellectual horsepower, curiosity, and execution mindset are key.

Work Structure

• Type: Full-time
• Start Date: Rolling

Compensation structure varies by geography and arrangement. This role is designed as a high-exposure platform role rather than a narrowly scoped corporate analyst seat.

What You Will Gain

• Exposure to M&A deal analysis and capital markets workflows
• Insight into hedge fund and asset management decision-making
• Understanding of buy-side vs sell-side dynamics
• Experience working with institutional investors and allocators
• Development of finance, modeling, and market analysis skills

Progression & Platform Access

High-performing analysts may be considered for expanded responsibilities or future roles across:

• Investment banking and capital markets
• Hedge fund strategy and operations
• Asset management and allocator relations
• International roles across our global platform

Swiss Finance operates internationally with active platforms in New York, London, Zurich, Stockholm, and other financial hubs, supporting hedge funds, private capital vehicles, and alternative investment strategies.
