A key aspect of the role involves initiating discussions with portfolio managers to communicate investment ideas effectively and participating in group meetings to share insights.

A completed MBA degree or CFA designation, along with relevant investment experience, is required.

Strong financial modeling skills are essential, and candidates should demonstrate the ability to conduct corporate analysis, including on-site visits and relative value analysis.
