The Office of University Investments (OUI) manages the University's $13+ billion endowment which supports this mission by seeking to generate superior risk-adjusted returns through traditional and alternative investments in US and international equities, fixed income, hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, and real assets. The global, multiple-asset class approach taken exploits a central insight of modern financial theory: namely, that portfolio risk can be minimized for any targeted rate of return through the inclusion of a broad selection of asset classes - since risky asset classes often behave differently as regional and global economic, financial, and political events unfold.

Through a wide variety of asset class, operations, and portfolio and risk analytics assignments, Investment Analysts are expected to acquire a deep knowledge of issues surrounding the development and execution of a robust global, multi-asset class, long-term oriented institutional investment strategy. Analysts work with senior team members in the investment analysis and due diligence process and take on numerous analytic, quantitative, and qualitative projects on an independent basis to facilitate the overall investment process.

In contrast to more narrowly defined entry-level finance positions, Investment Analysts are assigned a broad and deep range of asset class exposure and projects covering all aspects of institutional portfolio construction and management over the course of the three-year period.

• Acquire a deep knowledge of issues surrounding the development and execution of a robust global, multi-asset class, long-term oriented institutional investment strategy;
• Collaborate with senior team members on work related to investment analysis and investment underwriting, including investment sourcing, due diligence, and structuring of new investments;
• Take on numerous analytic, quantitative, and qualitative projects on an independent basis to facilitate the overall investment process;

• Acquire a deep understanding of portfolio rebalancing and optimization, asset class construction, and investment valuation and relative valuation techniques;
• Execute a wide variety of performance, risk measurement, and attribution analyses;

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent: All majors are encouraged to apply (Master's degree candidates welcome). Disciplines on our team have recently included:
