Your opportunity

• The candidate will need significant experience with the primary focus of the role being on asset allocation research within the Multi-Asset team, working with colleagues to develop well-considered investment views for implementation by the portfolio managers
• There may be some additional responsibilities for further supporting the team’s portfolio managers in a range of areas, particularly in communicating investment views to clients. The team manages an array of funds, model portfolio services and advisory accounts with varying risk tolerances and methods of implementation
• The candidate will need a strong interest in financial markets and economics, and have the flexibility to research a range of different asset classes within the team’s frameworks

• You will be required to conduct research into a range of asset classes, including equities, fixed income, currencies and commodities, considering both macroeconomic and market-based factors in line with the team’s approach, and also to improve analytical frameworks used for making both tactical and strategic asset allocation decisions
• You will be expected to generate investment views for potential implementation in client mandates in support of the portfolio managers, in areas such as regional equity tilts, credit rating preferences and currency hedging decisions
• Communication of investment views and the broader macroeconomic and market backdrop to internal stakeholders, clients and the press will also be a key component of the role. This will include producing and presenting research for the multi-asset team’s weekly and monthly asset allocation research and markets update meetings
• You will produce written content for communication to both clients and the press on market and economic topics and events, and produce performance and market commentaries for client reports across a range of mandates
• You may also be asked to help with both regular and ad hoc day-to-day tasks involved in the management of client mandates, such as generating performance reports and writing commentaries

• Experience in constructing econometric models
• Experience in researching either equity markets or fixed income and currencies from a top-down, asset allocation perspective
• The flexibility to cover the whole breadth of asset classes (equities, fixed income, currencies & commodities) – the team operate as generalists, and each member is expected to provide challenge across the full spectrum of asset classes covered

• An understanding of the key instruments through which multi-asset portfolios are implemented, such as funds, ETFs, individual equities, individual bonds, futures forwards, and other derivatives
