About Canvas
On our proprietary research team—Market Intelligence—you’ll partner with our investment professionals and Compliance team to uncover insights about companies, industries, and the broader economy through deep fundamental research.
Canvas is the supply chain research group within Market Intelligence. Canvas conducts compliant supply chain research by developing deep industry expertise, talking with private company executives, and synthesizing information for portfolio managers and analysts—our team produces impactful research that will change the way you look at the world.
Role Summary
When you join the Canvas team, you’re signing up for the learning experience of your life. You will never look at anything the same—from grocery stores to tires to semiconductors. Every day you will speak with some of the most successful private company executives and learn about the businesses they’ve spent their lives building. You will synthesize your findings in comprehensive reports that are consumed by our investment professionals.
Role
Other Market Intelligence divisions perform quantitative research to explain what is going on in an industry. As a fundamental researcher, your qualitative research will explain why. In this role you will:
- Become a subject matter expert on an assigned industry
- Learn from small, medium, and large private company executives about their businesses and the industries in which they operate, including gathering qualitative data on what is happening (e.g., structural shifts, changes in supply/demand dynamics, and emerging competitors, markets, and technologies) and, importantly, why it is happening
- Synthesize your findings in comprehensive reports that present a view of the industry
- Gain unparalleled exposure to, and learn from, Compliance approved private company executives across industries, and your colleagues
- Interact directly with our investment professionals and learn the discretionary investment process
