• The analyst will be a part of the team responsible for developing investment strategies, creating proprietary tools and solutions to improve investment decision-making processes, engaging with various teams for thematic research and writing papers for publication.

• At least 3 years of investment experience (either in research or portfolio management) is required, preferably with the focus on one of the following areas: active security-selection, smart beta/risk premia research (including ESG as factors), portfolio construction and optimization.

• Experience in the fixed income domain is a plus.
• Strong quantitative and programming skills are required. Knowledge of statistical packages (preferably R or Python) and intermediate level SQL is required. Experience dealing with large data sets is preferred.
• Familiarity with front-office tools such as FactSet, Bloomberg, etc. is highly recommended.

• A desire to develop creative and innovative solutions is highly recommended.
