Bloomberg Intelligence - Asset Allocation Strategy Associate

Bloomberg runs on data. Bloomberg Intelligence "BI" takes that data and creates tools, analysis and insights that help inform and support clients' investment decisions in financial markets. BI Strategy research combines written analysis with interactive charting and analytics to give professional terminal clients foresight into where asset classes and sectors stand today and where they may be heading next.

What's in it for you:
As a BI Asset Allocation Strategy Associate, you would be part of this fast-growing team, supporting the Director of BI Global Strategy Research.

You will also play a pivotal role in generating insights, constructing data analysis and conducting investment research. The research will require a combination of fundamental and quantitative analysis, asset class supply and demand trends, sector performance, correlations and relative value. The analysis will be based on Bloomberg data sets and the group's proprietary models. Collaboration with the strategy, industry, government and litigation teams is a key element of this role. BI Strategists and Analysts arm Bloomberg users with the data and insights necessary to make market assessments.
