The role of an ISG member requires a broad set of qualities, including a passion for investing, client servicing, as well as strong analytical and communication skills.
The Tactical Asset Allocation team (TAA) within ISG seeks to generate tactical alpha for clients' portfolios by investing across macro asset classes (equities, fixed income, currencies and commodities). In addition to its investment mandate, the TAA team publishes several widely distributed reports and Outlooks each year, and is responsible for disseminating and communicating macro investment views to the firm's clients.
We are seeking a junior Associate who will focus on monitoring market conditions, conducting in-depth research and generating actionable investment insights across developed government bond markets, with a primary focus on non-US government bonds and derivatives. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in macroeconomic analysis, quantitative research, and experience in a sell-side or buyside fixed income strategy or research role.
