Position Overview:
The Senior Analyst is responsible for researching, analyzing, and recommending Vietnamese equities for the firm's investment portfolios. This includes conducting ongoing due diligence on existing holdings and potential targets. As a core member of the Investment team, the successful candidate will originate, evaluate, and recommend investment ideas, offering differentiated views and identifying meaningful change within covered companies and sub-sectors, all grounded in a risk/reward framework. We expect this role to go beyond isolated financial statement analysis — the candidate should be able to test individual stock and credit views against the broader market and macroeconomic environment.
Job Description:
- Generate well-supported, insightful investment recommendations across equities based on independent research.
- Apply fundamental and/or technical analysis to reach sound, timely investment decisions.
- Conduct interviews with management teams, suppliers, and customers, and carry out industry and competitive due diligence.
- Collect and synthesize investment data at both the macro and micro level, and maintain processes to track and record changes over time.
- Perform detailed quantitative analysis on the performance and characteristics of existing holdings and potential new targets, and maintain a list of potential replacements.
- Stay attentive to macroeconomic developments (interest rates, currency movements, policy shifts) and proactively connect them to covered names, rather than reacting only after the fact.
- Support the Portfolio Manager in continuously monitoring, managing, and optimizing portfolio performance, helping ensure alignment with strategic and tactical allocation targets.
- Support the preparation and presentation of materials related to the portfolios.
- Assist the sales and marketing teams with channel management and communication with internal and external clients.
- Demonstrate honesty, responsibility, integrity, and follow-through on commitments.
- Take on additional responsibilities as needed, in line with the growth of the organization.
Qualifications:
- Minimum 3 years of experience in equity.
- Strong financial modeling and independent research skills.
- Familiarity with a range of valuation methodologies — DCF is only one tool among several — with the flexibility to apply relative valuation, scenario analysis, and other frameworks as appropriate.
- Ability to place individual stock or credit views in the context of the broader market and macroeconomic environment, rather than assessing them in isolation.
- Solid academic background with a bachelor's degree; an advanced degree or CFA charter is a plus.
- Strong communication skills (written, verbal, and presentation).
- Licensed in Vietnam.
Preferred (Not Required, but a Plus)
- Buy-side investment research experience.
- 2 years of financial industry experience.
- Prior exposure to macroeconomic research, fixed income, or cross-asset analysis.
- A habit of actively following macro developments (rate cycles, currency moves, geopolitical events) and quickly assessing their market implications.
Benefits:
- Annual leaves, Insurance 24/7
- Birthday allowance
- Company trip
- Annual bonus
Working time: Monday to Friday (8:00am - 5:00pm)
