Investment Analyst
Sign up to meet one of our investment team members to learn more about
the Analyst position. These coffee chats will be located on campus at various times starting from October 9 to October 27. Please be mindful to allow space for students who did not participate in previous coffee chats.
Who Will You Work With?
We are seeking analysts to join our 18-person investment team. We sit together in an open office, where you will collaborate with senior investment team members and contribute actively to team deliberations. You will also work closely with leading investment managers from around the world. We believe investing is an apprenticeship, and you will receive training and mentorship from the entire team.
What Will You Do?
You will research new investment managers, present in weekly investment team meetings, write investment recommendations, and lead special projects. We will teach you the fundamentals of asset allocation, including mean-variance optimization, and the process of selecting investment managers and underwriting investments. You will learn about a broad variety of investment strategies and asset classes. You will gain financial modeling skills, improve your written communication, and learn due diligence techniques. You will travel occasionally, typically to major financial centers. We operate as a meritocracy, and we view the analyst position as the beginning of a challenging and rewarding career in investing. If you are successful, we hope you will work at Stanford for many years.
What Do We Look For?
• Strong critical thinking
• The confidence to ask questions or give opinions based on your observations and analysis
• A combination of strong qualitative and quantitative capabilities
• Intellectual curiosity combined with a passion for investing
• A strong work ethic and careful attention to detail
• Outstanding record of academic achievement
• Proven ability to work effectively in a non-hierarchical, no ego, meritocratic, and collaborative team setting
• We will consider graduates from all majors and courses of study that have completed a bachelor's degree
How to Apply
You should submit your resume, unofficial transcript, and one-page cover letter describing your interest in the position via the Handshake website. Applications are due on October 29, 2017. Questions? Email us at AnalystProgram@smc.stanford.edu.
