Investment Analyst
As an Investment Analyst at Readystate Asset Management, you are a critical member of our investment team who will generate hypotheses, perform key analyses and help form investment ideas. As a multi-strategy firm that incorporates fundamental and systematic approaches and emphasizes interdisciplinary analysis, we encourage individuals across a wide breadth of backgrounds to apply.

Analysts with a quantitative focus will develop systematic trading techniques and/or conduct quantitative research, with an emphasis on alpha signal development, predictive pricing and strategy implementation. All analysts will develop views on company valuation vs. market expectations and relative value across the capital structure and will collaborate with the entire investment team in identifying opportunities to take and manage risk based on your analyses.
In Readystate's "one team" ethos, you will contribute to a variety of investment styles across convertible bonds, corporate bonds, equities, options and other derivative markets. At Readystate, we foster an environment where all team members can learn from one another and contribute across all aspects of our business, including portfolio management, trading, risk management, operations, technology, and marketing.
