At Capital Group, our goal is to improve people’s lives through successful investing. We start by investing in you.
The Role

“I can succeed as an ESG Analyst at Capital Group.”

A key pillar of Capital Group’s ESG strategy is to incorporate ESG insights and data into the investment process across asset classes through thematic and company research, proprietary tools, and company engagement. Our sector-based ESG Analysts generate impactful ESG research on under-appreciated investment risks and positive investment opportunities. You will identify, research and monitor ESG issues, and work closely with investment analysts to incorporate ESG insights into their analysis where relevant. You will establish insights and debate your views with senior internal stakeholders including portfolio managers. You will engage companies under your sector coverage, develop and cultivate external expert networks, and own proprietary ESG data frameworks.

“I am the person Capital Group is looking for.”

  • You are a curious and thorough analyst, able to deliver timely, frequent and fresh insights into new and emerging sector-specific ESG trends and how they impact the securities in which we invest.
  • You have experience with corporate fixed income research in one or more sectors.
  • You have a collaborative orientation and can seamlessly partner with investment analysts on ESG research, providing a diverse perspective and additive insights.
  • You excel at clear, concise written and verbal communication to an investment audience.
  • You understand corporate reporting and financial modeling, and how ESG trends will impact companies, sectors and countries in financial terms. 
  • You are innovative, bringing new ways to assess ESG performance on key metrics using conventional and unconventional data sources, and can work with large data sets. You are rigorous in your analysis to ensure that CG’s proprietary industry frameworks reflect the best insights into ESG materiality.
  • You are skilled at building relationships internally and externally, partnering with ESG analyst peers, other internal teams such as Governance & Proxy, while keeping an eye to the external environment.
  • You are comfortable conducting company engagements, helping to drive constructive conversations on key ESG issues that help us better understand the companies we invest in.
  • You have at least 5 years of relevant research experience.

Capital Group Compensation & Benefits Highlights

The following summarizes recurring compensation and benefits themes identified from responses generated by popular LLMs to common candidate questions about Capital Group and has not been reviewed or approved by Capital Group.

  • Retirement Support Retirement support stands out through an employer-funded contribution equal to about 15% of eligible compensation, adding meaningful long-term value to total rewards. A vesting schedule is referenced, but the core retirement benefit is positioned as unusually rich and frequently highlighted as a differentiator.
  • Strong & Reliable Incentives Incentives are structured around two annual bonuses—one tied to individual performance and another linked to company profitability—creating a predictable bonus framework. In certain senior investment roles, bonus opportunity can be very high relative to base pay, reinforcing the upside for top performers.
  • Inclusive Benefits Coverage Inclusive coverage is emphasized through fertility benefits (including IVF and egg freezing), pregnancy and menopause support, and adoption/surrogacy assistance. These benefits broaden applicability across different life stages and family-building paths.
