About the Role:

This is a rare opportunity to join one of the best-performing and fastest-growing multi-billion-dollar hedge fund / long-only franchises globally. The successful candidate will work directly alongside an award-winning PM and Senior Analyst, contributing to a high-conviction, deep fundamental research process across EMEA financials, with a focus on banks and insurers.

Specific responsibilities:

  • Carry out detailed financial analysis of issuers in the financials sector, including in-depth assessment of issuer and security level risks
  • Build complete financial models encompassing forecasts, sensitivity analysis and stress testing   
  • Take part in meetings with borrowers, investment banks (including sell-side research analysts) and other market stakeholders
  • Develop and manage relationships with relevant sell-side syndicate desks  
  • Conduct detailed relative value analysis to identify secondary market trade opportunities  

Skills and background:

  • 5–10 years' experience analysing European financials (hedge fund, high-quality long-only and sell-side all considered)
  • Educated to degree level, in a relevant subject
  • Financials specialist — primary focus on banks and insurers, experience of other financials sub-sectors useful but not a requirement
  • Strong fundamental credit analysis and financial modelling skills
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-conviction, deep-pocketed hedge fund environment
