Gerold & Partners is excited to be working with a top tier $15bn+ Hedge Fund in London on an investment analyst / associate role with a focus on Asset-Based Finance (ABF) in London.
What You'll Do
- Build and own financial models — structuring, cash flow analysis, and scenario/sensitivity work across asset-based finance transactions; particularly for non-standard, esoteric deals.
- Support deal execution and portfolio monitoring with direct, hands-on analytical involvement.
- Be involved across a multitude of asset classes within structured finance, ranging from public ABS, RMBS, CMBS, CLOs to private ABF (forward flows, mortgage pools) and real estate credit.
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.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We're Looking For
Experience
- Up to ~2 years post-graduation experience
- Prior experience in finance, in a technical/analytical role — the specific firm or platform matters less than what you actually built and did day-to-day
Academics
- A technical/quantitative degree background from a top university.
- Preferably A*s at A-Level in Maths and Further Maths (or equivalent).
Skillset
- Strong quantitative and analytical ability; comfortable building models independently
- Some coding proficiency (exact language less important than demonstrated ability to use it to solve problems)
- Technical capability is the priority here — a fast learner and hard worker with strong fundamentals is preferred over someone with deal origination experience but weaker technical depth

Profile
