Senior Fund Analyst - based Zurich

Our client, a leading global provider of investment research, is building their fund research business in Europe.

We are looking for an individual who is passionate about investing and helping individuals and their advisers make better investment decisions. Our client expects analysts to develop clear opinions on funds based on research that goes beyond mere performance and risk evaluation.  To research funds thoroughly, our client's analysts interview portfolio managers, undertake quantitative analyses using databases and monitor regulatory and media information. Analysts build expertise on specific fund houses, the fund industry and various economic sectors. The Senior Fund Analyst will be expected to write investment opinions, help shape methodologies, conduct research studies, make media appearances and represent our client at speaking engagements.

Excellent written and oral communication skills are necessary for this role. Fund Manager interviews are undertaken in Swiss German so, fluency in this language is essential. The ideal candidate will have at least five years of fund analysis or related experience in the Swiss market. Quantitative skills and additional professional certifications such as the CFA designation are a plus.
