This role is for an Equity Analyst / Deputy Fund manager position in the Global Income team. The team manages long-only, high conviction funds with an investment horizon of around 3 years. The investment approach has a clear focus on paying an attractive price for a stock based on bottom-up fundamental research on the company and its industry. This value approach naturally leads to a market-beating level of income for the funds.

This will involve analysing potential new investment ideas and existing stock holdings, and assisting in all the aspects of managing the funds.
