European Long/Short Equity Analyst
The Firm
We are working with a highly regarded single-manager hedge fund with a 15+ year track record and $1bn+ AUM. The firm has a strong reputation for deep fundamental research, and a medium-term investment horizon.
The strategy is not market neutral or short-term trading focused. The team seeks to identify meaningful mispricings where market expectations differ from the likely direction or rate of change in a company's fundamentals.
The portfolio combines a quality bias on the long side with alpha shorts, including both cyclical and structural opportunities.
The Role
The fund is looking to hire an experienced European Long/Short Equity Analyst to join its investment team.
The successful candidate will be a fundamental investor with a strong track record of generating differentiated ideas across European equities. The team operates with a generalist approach, while allowing analysts to develop sector tilts.

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.
