Who are you
A macro researcher who synthesizes global economic trends, political developments, and market dynamics into clear investment insights. You will shape our international equity strategies by guiding country, sector, and thematic positioning from a top-down perspective—not stock picking.
As part of the research team, you’ll collaborate with portfolio managers to assess global risks and opportunities, identify secular growth trends, and translate research into actionable recommendations that inform portfolio construction and articulate our investment narrative internally and externally. This role suits a systems thinker who can cut through complexity and communicate clearly.
