Qualifications for Success:

  • Bachelor's degree in investments, economics, or related fields such as business, accounting, finance, or other quantitative disciplines.
  • 5+ years of experience in covering investment-grade financial institutions.
  • Ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced environment and contribute insights during team discussions.
  • Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.
  • Strong eagerness to learn and an inquisitive mindset.
  • Capacity to make informed decisions with limited information.
