Senior Investment Analyst 2025-02206

Investment Analyst

This position provides an opportunity to work with a high-performing, small investment team overseeing approximately $12 billion in externally managed pension assets. The seven-person investment team has full investment discretion, with internal approval from the Executive Director, allowing for nimble action and decision making on investment opportunities. The portfolio has generated top decile returns over the past 1, 2, 5, 7, and 10-year periods. Given the small size of the team, each member of the investment staff has a meaningful opportunity to shape portfolio outcomes. While team members have a primary area of focus within one or more of the broad asset classes (Fixed Income, Marketable Alternatives, Private Equity, and Public Equity), each individual also has the opportunity to provide insights and opinions across the entire portfolio. This particular position is expected to be primarily focused on the Public Equity and Core / Government Fixed Income asset classes.

This position is responsible for conducting investment research and analysis to execute the investment strategy objectives of assigned investment classes. It will primarily support the senior staff of the assigned asset class, collaborate on special projects as requested by the Chief Investment Officer (CIO), and work with Investment Analysts. The role requires utilizing industry-standard software to research potential investments and monitor existing money managers. The Senior Investment Analyst is responsible for mentoring and training Investment Analysts and Interns.
