Investment Analyst Program
Investment Analysts (IAs) work closely with our Investment Directors to provide investment and capital markets research, analysis, and advice to our clients. Investment Analysts often have the opportunity to attend client and investment manager meetings; however, travel is limited.
Each IA is generally responsible for eight to 12 clients and handles several projects at once. While every IA is responsible for arranging his/her priorities in order to meet deadlines, there is a strong tradition of teamwork and cooperation among members of the Investment Analyst staff to help manage the workload. Although the position involves quantitative analysis, there is also a strong qualitative component as IAs work to describe market conditions and relay investment recommendations to clients in written reports.
In addition to client work, Investment Analysts often choose to join auxiliary teams, which provide support for the broader firm and allow individuals to develop skills outside of traditional client work.
Investment Analysts participate in a two-year program with strong performers receiving promotions with the option to stay for an additional one to two years. Beyond that, strong performers interested in continuing their career at Cambridge Associates are encouraged to apply for the Associate Investment Director role.
