Responsibilities
- Own coverage of a defined slice of the technology universe — building and maintaining models, tracking operating metrics, and knowing companies well enough to anticipate key debates
- Develop investment theses and bring both bull and bear cases to the team
- Translate research into portfolio relevant conclusions: what to own, avoid, add to, trim, or monitor
- Conduct primary research: build network of sell side analysts, industry consultants, experts, and company contacts; run channel checks; attend management meetings and conferences
- Make recommendations to portfolio managers as risk/reward shifts and monitor names against thesis
- Assess valuation, expectations, positioning, factor exposure, disruption, cyclicality, capital allocation, and downside scenarios
- Support wider platform by lending sector perspective to alternative and private market teams
- Improve team processes: help automate repetitive parts of research and act as bridge to data, analytics, and portfolio operations colleagues
Requirements
- Typically five (5) to ten (10) years in a role involving rigorous fundamental work — buy side research, sell side equity research, investment banking, or fund management
- Strong fundamental and financial analysis skills, with advanced financial modeling and valuation

Full Job Posting
About The Team
- The Fundamental Research Platform is a team of sector specialists providing deep, bottom up research across global markets.
- Primary role is to support PSP’s internally managed active equities strategies.
- You will sit within the Technology sector team, report to the sector lead, and partner directly with portfolio managers.
What You Will Do
- Own coverage. Take responsibility for a defined slice of the technology universe — building and maintaining models, tracking the operating metrics that matter, and knowing the companies well enough to anticipate the key debates before results are released
- Build the case, then test it. Develop investment theses and bring both the bull and the bear case to the team.
- Translate research into portfolio relevant conclusions. Be clear about what your work implies: what we should own, avoid, add to, trim, or continue monitoring — and why now
- Conduct primary research. Build and use a network of sell side analysts, industry consultants, experts, and company contacts. Run channel checks. Attend management meetings and conferences and come back with something the transcript did not already say
- Make recommendations. Bring stock actions to portfolio managers as the risk/reward shifts and monitor names you have underwritten against their thesis — flagging when the story starts to break before the price does
- Understand risk. Assess valuation, expectations, positioning, factor exposure, disruption, cyclicality, capital allocation, and downside scenarios — and be clear about what would change your mind
- Support the wider platform. Lend your sector perspective to alternative and private market teams when they are evaluating technology businesses
- Improve how the team works. Help automate repetitive parts of the research process and act as a bridge to our data, analytics, and portfolio operations colleagues
What You’ll Need
- Typically five (5) to ten (10) years in a role involving rigorous fundamental work — buy side research, sell side equity research, investment banking, or fund management. A track record covering technology is a clear advantage
- Strong fundamental and financial analysis skills, with advanced financial modeling and valuation. You should be able to build a defensible model from a blank sheet, not only maintain an existing one
- Proficiency with the standard tools — Excel, Bloomberg, and a financial data platform (Capital IQ, FactSet, or similar)
- Comfort building lightweight automations or workflows to make research faster; familiarity with Python or a similar language is an asset, not a requirement
- The ability to synthesize a large volume of information into a clear, honest, and persuasive view — in writing and in person — for an audience that will challenge it
- Sound judgment, and the self awareness to separate conviction from overconfidence
- The independence to form your own view and the discipline to follow a shared process
- Initiative and genuine curiosity — the instinct to look past the surface fact and understand what really is driving value
- A collaborative disposition. This is a high performance team that would rather coach than compete internally
- The composure to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines without a drop in quality
- An undergraduate degree in a relevant field from an accredited institution. A graduate degree is welcome but not required
- Progress toward the CFA designation is an asset
