Internship: Junior Quantitative Analyst in Singapore - Full-time position

The candidate will be responsible for quantitative research, performance analysis and reporting on systematic equity investment strategies, including the Scientific Beta smart factor indices.

The role will require the use of concepts from portfolio construction and risk and performance analysis, as well as applied econometrics and statistics to analyse investment strategies. The intern will analyse drivers of performance, variability of performance over time and in different market conditions, and examine the impact of different portfolio construction steps.

The position focuses on computational tasks but also requires the candidate to present reasoned analysis of his or her results. The intern will also be expected to draft reports and presentation materials based on quantitative results.

The role requires experience in the use of computational tools (such as MatLab/R), and advanced knowledge of Excel. The successful candidate will also have a strong command of financial theory and applied statistics/econometrics, as well as a keen interest in empirical work with financial data and applying advanced research-based concepts in practice.

The internship is for a period of six months, starting preferably on March 15th, 2019.

Candidates should hold the right or authorization to work/intern in Singapore.
