Bloomberg is a market leader in innovative multi-asset research, fixed income and commodities benchmark indices and portfolio analysis software. Our index and portfolio products and services are used globally by asset managers, insurance companies, pension funds, hedge funds and other large investors to more deeply understand the risk structure and performance of broad market segments, transactions and portfolios. If you have strong analytical skills, a keen interest to solve problems and an ability to effectively handle client communication, then the Systematic Strategies team may be the place for you!

As a quantitative researcher on this team, you’ll develop systematic index strategies, construct asset allocation frameworks and use a range of optimization techniques to deliver portfolio solutions.

We’ll trust you to:

  • Handle large data sets required for research projects such as investigating corporate bond value strategies or constructing an efficient currency hedging framework
  • Build financial models to test and develop index strategies such as custom risk premia portfolios (e.g. cross-asset carry and momentum)
  • Contribute to co-authoring research publications
  • Work with clients to assess their portfolio needs and translate them into deliverable index-based solutions

You’ll need to have:

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher
  • 2+ years of relevant work experience in a financial services institution (e.g. Quantitative Investment Strategies (QIS) team at an investment bank, asset manager or asset owner (pension fund, insurance company etc.))
  • 2+ years of programming experience with statistical software (e.g. R/Python/Matlab)
  • Deep knowledge of financial markets, securities and derivatives across asset classes
  • Demonstrable interest in macroeconomics, finance and investment management

  • Excellent oral and written communication skills
