- Analyze and interpret alternative data from multiple sources and develop subject-matter expertise on the key themes and KPIs that drive the industry and companies within your assigned coverage
- Produce research for internal consumption by our investment professionals across a variety of mediums, including written research reports, verbal communication, and visualization tools
- Interact directly with our investment professionals to learn the discretionary investment process and help them to drive more informed investment decisions
- Collaborate with our proprietary research teams including Data Sourcing, Data Science, and Data Engineering, as well as Compliance, to source, evaluate, and draw value from new and existing data assets to produce actionable research for investment professionals
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.
