Working at the intersection of finance and technology, the Quantitative Trading Analyst will participate in a two-year program, starting June 2027, within NISA’s Portfolio Management Department. The Analyst will gain foundational knowledge and understanding of broad asset classes and financial instruments. The Analyst will build upon this foundational knowledge and focus on learning the fundamentals of quantitative investment tools including portfolio construction, risk models, portfolio optimization and quantitative trading signals.

Over time, the Quantitative Trading Analyst contributes to the department by improving existing tools and building new ones. The Analyst works with senior members of the Portfolio Management team to leverage and incorporate these quantitative tools and methods into the investment process, systematically building individualized portfolios to meet clients’ varied risk and return objectives. Working in a fast-paced and collaborative environment, the Analyst gains knowledge and experience through formal and informal training.
