Investment Analyst

Picture this: diving deep into global markets, unearthing hidden gems in funds and asset classes, and shaping precision-engineered portfolios that deliver real results for high-end advisers. Based in vibrant Johannesburg, you’ll join a tight-knit investment team powering multi-asset strategies across borders, collaborating with sharp minds in London and beyond to drive market-leading outcomes.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

• Get hands-on with the action that keeps portfolios ahead of the curve.
• Scrutinise global financial markets, asset classes, and economic signals to spot trends, risks, and prime opportunities for savvy investment calls.
• Hunt down top fund picks using quant and qual tools, digging into manager performance, processes, team strength, and cost smarts – including face-to-face due diligence and peer showdowns.
• Whip up crisp research reports and presentations that fuel Investment Committee debates on asset allocation and fund choices.
• Team up with Johannesburg and London crew on everything from tech tweaks and product launches to reporting upgrades, while soaking up wisdom from senior portfolio pros.
• Translate knotty financial insights into clear, punchy comms for internal teams and external partners, plus brainstorm fresh product ideas to stay ahead of the pack.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Bring your analytical firepower and curiosity to thrive in this fast-moving world of multi-asset investing.
• Solid analytical chops with quant prowess, plus hands-on experience with tools like Bloomberg and Morningstar.
• Broad grasp of global markets, asset classes, and investment products – bonus if you’ve tackled multi-asset funds, model portfolios, or manager research.
• Sharp writing and speaking skills to make complex data click for everyone from committees to stakeholders.
• Experience in financial services, ideally investment or fund analysis, with a nod to South African and UK landscapes.
• Entrepreneurial vibe, collaborative spirit, ethical backbone, laser focus on details, and the knack for juggling priorities solo.
• Degree as a baseline; CFA, CAIA, numerate honours, or CIPM will turbocharge your edge.
