Equity Manager Research Analyst
We have an opportunity for an Equity Manager Research Analyst to join WTW's global Listed Equity team, to be based in Lisbon. You will help research equity investment managers and strategies, contribute to portfolio and client work, and develop alongside experienced colleagues across WTW's international investment research network.
The role will form part of WTW's growing investment presence in Lisbon and offers a strong entry point for someone with analytical ability, intellectual curiosity and an interest in financial markets. Prior relevant experience is not required, although exposure to investment research, asset management or financial analysis would be beneficial.
You will support the research and assessment of listed equity investment strategies globally. The work combines desk-based analysis, meetings with investment teams, quantitative analysis and clear written communication, with opportunities to contribute to investment solutions and client outcomes.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
