​Our client is the investment management firm working on behalf of an ultra-high net worth family. Their mission is to be an exceptional investment firm, that pursues life-long learning, while maintaining the highest ethical standards in everything they do. A core element of their investment philosophy is to own high quality businesses at reasonable valuations for the long-term. They primarily invest through third party managers, alongside co-investments with these managers, leveraging direct research on businesses and their valuation to support in these decisions. They pride themselves on their learning culture together with their flat organisational structure that values the contribution of all team members. They operate a generalist model and so the Investment Analyst role is a unique opportunity to build experience across multiple asset classes and investment strategies. You will develop a good understanding of the drivers of risk and return across these asset classes and how to manage these across a portfolio. This development will be supported by the experience of the investment team, as well as the opportunity to learn from some of the best investors globally, with whom they invest. The small team size creates significant opportunities for autonomy, learning and responsibility from the outset, allowing you to quickly develop your own investment understanding and judgement. The successful candidate will join the London-based investment team.
