Purpose of the Role
Reporting to the Co-Heads of the Cashflow Solution Team, the Equity Quantitative Investment Analyst plays a key role in supporting the management and performance evaluation of Cashflow funds. The role focuses on researching, analysing and monitoring investment opportunities to enable informed decision-making by the investment team and clients.
The Opportunity
This is a rare opportunity to join a highly successful, long-standing investment team at Liontrust. For nearly two decades, the team has applied a proven investment process and distinctive business model, delivering strong long-term performance and earning multiple industry awards.
With an expanding investment remit and a strong European franchise, the team is now seeking exceptional talent to support the next phase of its evolution.
You will join a highly focused, two-person team that has worked together for many years and developed a distinctive, IP-rich investment process. Analysts are recruited not as support staff, but as future portfolio managers — individuals who will learn the craft, deepen the process and ultimately manage capital.
The successful candidate will work closely with the portfolio managers, gain deep exposure to the underlying methodology, and over time contribute directly to equity portfolio development. This is a role for someone motivated by high-conviction, process-driven investing, offering steep learning, broad responsibility and a clear long-term career runway.
