• Work closely with portfolio managers to monitor portfolio performance, risk, market developments, and key investment themes.

• Advance practical applications of AI tools for research, data analysis, information synthesis, workflow automation, and investment decision support.

• Contribute to daily portfolio management activities and a variety of ad-hoc market and investment research projects.

What you will bring:
