• Present stock recommendations and investment packs to the Portfolio Manager and Head of Research and actively discuss weightings in each name within the Healthcare Sector.
• Summary: This position is an integral part of the Small Cap Team to cover the healthcare sector within the Small and Small/Mid Cap Portfolios. This position will be involved in all stages of the investment process from sourcing opportunities, analyzing investments for inclusion in the portfolio and assisting portfolio manager in committing capital.

The Knowledge, Experience And Qualifications You Need

The Knowledge, Experience And Qualifications That Will Help

• A minimum of 10 years in the Financial industry, with a minimum of 5 years covering Healthcare
