Qualifications & Experience
This is a rare opportunity to become involved in private equity at a graduate level.

- Build financial models
- Develop your analytical skills
- Value portfolio companies
- Evaluate potential transactions, both qualitatively and quantitatively
- Support the structuring and execution of investments
You will also become skilled in conducting desktop research and helping to prepare materials for Investment Committee meetings.

For our part, we will provide training and a huge amount of support and feedback. Your communication skills, ability to work well under pressure and accountability will grow immensely during your time as an Investment Analyst.
Competencies
The Investment Analyst role is a two and a half year programme. At the end of the programme you might:
- Be offered an Associate role based on exceptional performance and demonstrable future potential
- Continue your education (for example, an MBA or further studies in Finance)
