Investment Analysts
Investment analysts typically begin their careers on the trading desk, providing support as a member of one of our research teams. Analysts use proprietary fundamental research, third-party research and information gathered from investment banks, dealers and counterparties to forecast trends, value investment opportunities and make investment recommendations.
Stark hires investment analysts to support all of its investment strategies. As a continuously evolving business, the focus of analyst coverage is influenced by changing market opportunities. Over time, an Investment Analyst builds skills that are utilized across a variety of strategies. This flexibility facilitates knowledge transfer within Stark which we believe is a key competitive advantage of our business model. Investment Analysts interface daily with principals and senior members of Stark.
