We run both strategic (Solution Design and Client Advisory) and tactical (Tactical Asset Allocation and Active Risk Control) research agendas across our Multi-Asset Solutions (MAS). The expectation is that the focus of this candidate will be on strategic research, although a broader skill set would be an advantage. Importantly, the focus is on applied research to drive positions in client portfolios.
