POSITION PURPOSE
The Associate Analyst plays a pivotal role in supporting the Portfolio Manager and Associate Portfolio Manager in managing the Global Value Strategy, with a focus on maintaining a deep understanding of the underlying businesses in the portfolio.
The role is responsible for providing comprehensive investment research across a diversified global portfolio, targeting mispriced quality, cyclicals, deep value stocks, and special situations. As the analytical backbone of the strategy, the Associate Analyst conducts valuation work and maintains up-to-date monitoring systems to assess the reward-to-risk profile of both current holdings and potential investments. By translating fundamental and quantitative analysis into distinctive, high-conviction investment views, this position directly influences position sizing and portfolio construction decisions.
The role also engages with public company management teams and industry participants to refine investment theses and validate assumptions. Leveraging AI tools and thoughtful prompt design, the individual accelerates data gathering, pattern recognition, and idea generation while maintaining fundamental analytical rigor.
Operating within an apprenticeship model alongside senior investors, this position offers the opportunity to develop the skills and mindset required for long-term success as a global value investor.
Principal Responsibilities
Adopt, execute, and continuously refine the Global Value Strategy playbook, including deep historical analysis, valuation discipline, and forward-looking scenario work.
Take full ownership of Global Value Monitor updates, ensuring they are timely, accurate, and insightful on valuation, fundamentals, and risk/reward across the universe.
Design and iterate AI-enabled research workflows (prompt libraries, retrieval systems, automation) to give the team more time for judgment and synthesis.
Help build an automated version of the Global Value Monitor pulling in data from Visible Alpha, Bloomberg and other relevant sources, to ensure that valuations are up to date and accurate.
Lead targeted company and industry deep dives, as well as thematic projects directly tied to portfolio needs and opportunity sets.
Where required and mostly on uncovered stocks, build and maintain robust three-statement and scenario models; pull in market, macro, and alternative data where it genuinely improves conviction.
Partner closely with the Portfolio Manager, Associate Portfolio Manager and research platform to sharpen theses, update views, and turn research into actual portfolio actions.
Meet with CEOs, CFOs, and other key stakeholders to test the team’s views, identify misperceptions, and surface new ideas.
Track ex-ante assumptions versus ex-post outcomes and actively participate in performance and attribution reviews to keep the feedback loop tight.
Run primary diligence (filings, transcripts, channel work, site visits) to deeply understand business models, balance sheets, and management quality.
Build toward making independent investment recommendations over time and accept real outcome accountability as coverage and trust expand.
