• Present stock recommendations and investment packs to the Portfolio Manager and Head of Research and actively discuss weightings in each name within the Industrials Sector.
• Summary: This position is an integral part of the Small Cap Team to cover the Industrials sector within the Small and Small/Mid Cap Portfolios. This position will be involved in all stages of the investment process from sourcing opportunities, analyzing investments for inclusion in the portfolio and assisting portfolio manager in committing capital.

The knowledge, experience and qualifications that you need

• A minimum of 10 years in the Financial industry, with a minimum of 5 years covering Industrials
• A thorough grounding in fundamental stock analysis, financial modelling, and the Small and Mid-Cap Industrial sector.
• A detailed knowledge of stocks within Industrial sectors with a thorough perspective on the factors that outperform across different parts of the market and economic cycle;
