Founded in 2002, SCS is a well-established and growing investment and wealth management firm serving ultra-high net worth families, family offices, and institutional investors. We manage over $20 billion in assets across public and private investment markets globally. We are a discretionary manager using an open architecture platform, focusing on strategic and tactical asset allocation on behalf of our clients and then selecting best-in-class managers to invest across the spectrum of fixed income, public equity, hedge funds, private equity, private credit, and private real assets.

Role Description

As a member of the Public Equity team, the candidate will be responsible for conducting market & macro research, analyzing third party managers, and building presentations that summarize SCS’ investment philosophy, performance, & views.

We are looking for an intellectually curious team player who is a self-starter with good problem solving and interpersonal skills.

This also includes analyzing public equity investment opportunities across regions, sectors, market-caps or styles, and developing an opinion regarding return potential.

- Analyze external managers from both a qualitative and quantitative perspective. This will entail having calls (or meetings) with portfolio managers & analysts, developing a thorough understanding of the philosophy & process, and quantitative analysis on returns to differentiate between beta & alpha.

- Develop investment collateral (in both written and presentation format) to be delivered to a variety of stakeholders (existing clients, prospective clients, and internal employees), based on analyses undertaken directly by the candidate and team members.

Qualifications

- We are looking for a candidate with at least 3 years of experience (buy-side or sell-side)
