The Analyst position will support the Investment Management Team with systematic and discretionary implementation related to both new and current investment processes. Systematic implementation will include executing existing strategy methodologies, creating pre-trade analytics, tracking and managing workflow of processes, standardizing execution instructions and documentation, and auditing these processes for accuracy and improvement. Discretionary implementation includes quantitative and qualitative macro research as applied to equities, fixed income, and derivative-based portfolios. Advancements in the role include conducting more in-depth research projects, automating tasks, new process design, and communication responsibilities with both internal and external stakeholders.
The Analyst will also regularly conduct pre- and post-trade analytics, trading commentary, strategy communication, performance analysis and attribution, and prepare meeting materials for the Team. The emphasis on each of these job duties may vary depending on the exact skillset, growth, and interest of the Analyst.
