Emerging Markets Equity Research Analyst

Responsibilities:

Drive stock selection using a contrarian, bottom-up, benchmark-agnostic, absolute-return, deep value approach, covering companies across all sectors (including financials), all regions, and the full spectrum of value situations—from discounted compounders and cyclicals to turnarounds, asset plays, and special situations. Build robust financial models with at least 10 years of historical data, apply sensitivity and scenario analysis, and validate assumptions through rigorous primary and secondary research. Write clear, evidence-based investment case notes that document thesis, catalysts, risks, and valuation frameworks, and discuss ideas with Portfolio Managers, incorporating feedback while maintaining analytical independence and conviction.

Help shape portfolio construction by contributing to position sizing, risk assessment, diversification, and monitoring exposures against absolute-return objectives. Continuously refresh coverage, screening, and watchlists to surface non-consensus opportunities across Global Emerging Markets and Frontier equities; track thesis progression and conduct post-mortems to iterate models and perspectives as new information emerges. The role offers a unique opportunity to build investment knowledge across the entire Global Emerging Markets and Frontier universe. Portfolio Managers will rely uniquely on the analyst’s work and insights to drive decision-making.

 Qualifications:

• Strong academic credentials

• 3–5 years of relevant professional experience
• Background in Investment Banking (IBD), Sell-Side Research, or Buy-Side Asset Management
• Clear commitment to value investing, with demonstrable application (e.g., case studies, investment memos, documented track record)
• Demonstrated contrarian mindset: ability to develop differentiated, non-consensus views supported by rigorous analysis and a clear margin-of-safety framework (provide examples)
• Strong fundamental research skills: deep-dive company analysis, financial modeling, valuation (DCF, multiples, scenario/sensitivity analysis), and industry/competitive assessments
• Proven ability to generate original insights and articulate long-term investment theses with an absolute-return mindset
• Broad coverage capability: comfortable analyzing companies across sectors and countries, including multiple types of value situations (e.g., cyclicals, turnarounds, asset plays, special situations)
• Demonstrated capacity to think in probabilities: frameworks for base/bull/bear cases, expected value and Bayesian updating under uncertainty
• Experience in Emerging Markets is preferred, but not essential
• Comfort operating with imperfect information; disciplined approach to risk management and downside protection
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• Proven ability to work independently with ownership of coverage and recommendations, as well as collaboratively within a team-based research process
• Highly organized, with strong prioritization skills and the ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously while meeting deadlines
• High integrity, intellectual curiosity, resilience, and a self-starter mentality.
• Proficiency in Excel/financial modeling; familiarity with market data tools (e.g., Bloomberg, FactSet) a plus
• Strong academic record; CFA designation or progress toward CFA is advantageous
