Quant Equity Analyst

Role Overview

We have partnered with a leading global asset manager looking to hire a Quant Equity Analyst to join their high-performing investment team. This is an expansionary hire within a highly established team managing multiple billion AUM, known for delivering top-tier fund performance (over multi-year time horizons) through a systematic investment process.

The successful candidate will work closely with the portfolio managers to refine and enhance equity factor models used by the team, while also contributing directly to investment performance across the funds being run by the team.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a technically strong, intellectually curious individual with 4–7 years of experience who is passionate about equity markets and eager to be part of a long-term investment journey. The culture emphasizes humility, self-direction, and deep engagement with the investment process.

While candidates from smaller funds, credit backgrounds, or alternative investment paths will be considered, they must demonstrate a strong rationale for pivoting to systematic equity investing and a clear passion for equities

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to the development and enhancement of systematic equity models, particularly factor-based frameworks
• Conduct rigorous analysis and testing of new and existing factors to assess performance, correlation, and contribution to the portfolio
• Collaborate closely with portfolio managers to translate research insights into actionable investment strategies
• Work independently on research projects from idea generation to implementation, demonstrating strong ownership and initiative
• Integrate into a collaborative investment environment focused on continuous improvement and long-term performance
• Support the team’s efforts to evaluate equity opportunities globally, with the flexibility to assess relative value and pair trades
• Assist in the ongoing refinement of the investment process, ensuring alignment with the team’s disciplined and data-driven approach

Requirements & Qualifications

• 4–7 years of experience in a quantitative analyst role (within an equities team or credit team), ideally within an asset management or systematic investing environment
• Strong programming skills in Python, with a demonstrated ability to build and test investment models and tools
• Experience working with or improving factor models, including analysis of alternative factors and understanding of their economic rationale
• Deep interest in equities as an asset class (even if coming from more of a different background - eg. Credit)
• Prior exposure to equity investment processes is highly desirable, and candidates should be able to articulate their role within the team and how they have contributed
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently and add value without close supervision
• Cultural fit is critical - candidates should be humble, intellectually curious, and committed to contributing to a long-term, collaborative investment culture
