  • Support internal and external audits related to performance data and GIPS compliance (if applicable).

Required Qualifications

  • 3-8 years of experience in performance measurement, attribution analysis, asset management, or financial analytics.
  • Extensive hands-on experience with FactSet , specifically in performance and attribution modules.
  • Strong understanding of performance methodologies (time-weighted return, money-weighted return, Brinson attribution, fixed-income attribution, benchmark analysis).
  • High proficiency in Excel (including advanced formulas, pivot tables; VBA a plus).
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and data validation skills with a high attention to detail.
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Accounting, or related field.
  • Ability to clearly communicate complex analytical insights to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications (Optional)

  • Experience with portfolio accounting systems, data warehouses, and reporting tools.
  • Familiarity with GIPS standards.
  • Experience using Python, SQL, or BI tools for data automation and visualization.
  • CFA or CIPM designation (or progress toward one).

Personal Attributes

  • Highly analytical with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.
  • Comfortable working both independently and within a collaborative investment environment.
  • Detail-oriented, methodical, and committed to delivering accurate results under deadlines.
