THE OPPORTUNITY
As an investment advisor, Cambridge Associates (CA) works with clients around the world to construct high performing, diversified investment portfolios. For over 50 years, Cambridge Associates has been a leading voice in building institutional-quality portfolios for its clients. Working with endowments, foundations, sovereign wealth funds, pensions, healthcare systems and family offices, we pioneered the use of alternative asset classes to generate outperformance for portfolios.
Our clients’ capital is invested through 3rd party fund managers, and we help clients to identify the best-in-class fund managers for them to invest in. To achieve this Cambridge Associates’ asset-class specific research teams meet with and perform deep due diligence on fund managers across all asset classes including listed equity, private equity and hedge funds. Our client teams then construct and manage portfolios from the very best fund managers sourced by our global research teams.
The Cambridge Associates Sustainable and Impact Investing (SII) Group is dedicated to the rapidly growing area of impact investing, and the integration of environmental, social, & governance (ESG) and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) considerations across asset classes and thematic areas such as climate change and social equity. The SII Group is unique at CA in that it crosses both fund manager research and client portfolio management sides of our business. As a result, members of the team are responsible for both completing extensive due diligence on fund managers across asset classes and working with client teams to incorporate sustainability themes such as impact investingESG, DEI or net zero goals into clients’ portfolios. The Group also works to support the rest of the CA platform by developing new systems and processes, and leading CA relationships with industry initiatives.
We are currently hiring for a full-time Investment Analyst/Associate (IA) to join the SII Group in London. The IA will also work with global colleagues in the SII Group on shared projects. The IA will focus on two responsibilities: (1) research impact and ESG managers across asset classes (equities, credit, real assets, and private investments) in coordination with Investment Directors; and (2) support the development of the SII Team through operational, analytical, and research support.
The role offers a unique opportunity in this exciting and high growth area – CA’s SII Group is highly involved in activities across teams and practices at the firm as client interest to integrate sustainable investment practices in their portfolios is rapidly growing. Cambridge Associates advises on over $550bn of client capital, and the role offers a real opportunity to help progress the investment industry’s efforts to address social and environmental challenges through mainstream finance.
