We are looking for a Fund Analyst to join our cross-asset Funds Research & Advisory team, covering the Global Equity and Fixed Income pod with an extended remit into Liquid Alternatives. This is an opportunity to work within a T-shaped analyst model - developing deep expertise in your core asset classes while contributing to cross-pod initiatives, governance frameworks, and firm-wide manager research output.



You will play a key role in fund selection, manager due diligence, and portfolio construction support, feeding directly into our Approved and Focus List governance process.




Your role

• Contribute to thematic research pieces and quarterly manager survey presentations as well as requests.

• Liaise directly with fund management companies (portfolio managers, product specialists) on strategy updates, liquidity terms, and operational due diligence points.

• Support regulatory and cross-border fund considerations (UCITS, AIFMD) relevant to fund selection and distribution.

Your profile

• Master's degree in Finance, Economics, or related field CFA (or progress toward), CAIA a plus given Liquid Alternatives focus.

• Demonstrated experience covering Liquid Alternatives strategies (hedge fund style, UCITS-wrapped or offshore) alongside traditional long-only equity and/or fixed income funds.

• Solid understanding of the fund management business - how asset managers are structured, fee models, distribution channels, and operational due diligence considerations.

• Familiarity with fund governance frameworks (rating systems, approved lists, investment committees) is a strong plus.

• Fluent in English; French a strong asset given client and internal stakeholder base.

• Strong quantitative due diligence skills: performance attribution, risk decomposition, factor analysis.

• Working knowledge of relevant regulatory frameworks (UCITS, AIFMD; Swiss LPCC/LSFin knowledge a plus).

• Comfortable with fund research tools/databases (e.g., Morningstar Direct, Factset, Bloomberg).

• Advanced Excel; PowerPoint proficiency for client- and committee-facing materials.

• Excellent written and verbal communication, able to distill complex fund analysis into clear recommendations for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Comfortable engaging directly with fund managers and internal stakeholders.
