About the Role

Position

We are seeking an experienced Equity Analyst to join our Global Healthcare team within Global Investment Research (GIR) as a Global Industry Analyst (GIA). The role will be based in London.

The successful candidate will be a key member of the Healthcare team, and will be responsible for conducting research and making investment recommendations on International (non-US) stocks, with a primary focus on Products & Services (e.g. HealthCare Providers & Services, HealthCare Technology, HealthCare Equipment & Supplies, Medical Devices, Biopharma Services, Life Sciences Tools), across both developed and some emerging markets.    

They will conduct fundamental research that leads to differentiated insights, derived from asking innovative questions, anticipating trends, identifying risks and potential disruptions in this rapidly changing industry.

The ideal candidate will be passionate about markets, with a demonstrated track record of successful stock recommendations in these sectors. In addition, they must exhibit a fundamental, research oriented, bottom-up approach, supported by a strong investment philosophy and process, including the integration of ESG considerations, and be able to implement ideas through a highly analytical framework.

The GIA will be able to identify mispricing and valuation discrepancies, which will allow them to make investment recommendations, and communicate their findings to Portfolio Managers globally, who manage long-only and hedge fund portfolios on behalf of our clients. Over time, we expect the GIA to take on portfolio management responsibilities for their industry sub-sectors within the firm's research portfolios. At Wellington, we consider research to be a core aspect of the investment process, and view this as a long-term career position that can be highly challenging and rewarding.
