Investment Consulting


This section contains all our investment consulting jobs.

Investment consultants advise pension fund trustees to help them decide which assets to invest in and which fund managers to put their money with.

Since trustees are generally laypeople, they therefore require the advice of investment experts to ensure they can maximise the value of their funds. Investment consultants advise trustees within various types of organisations including corporate and public retirement plans, university endowments, foundations and healthcare systems.

Investment consultants first analyse the investment goals of trustees and other fiduciaries and learn how their funds are governed, in order to understand what level of performance the trustees expect and their sensitivity to risk. The consultants then develop liability plans and profiles that enable them to recommend an acceptable investment policy.

Increasingly, however, investment consultants are being placed in direct competition with fund managers because they are often required to implement the advice they give.

Investment consulting careers usually fall into one of two main categories:

Asset allocation - Asset allocation specialists advise clients on whether to invest in equities, bonds, private equity funds or alternative asset classes in order to generate the returns they need to pay pensions over the next thirty years or more. Asset allocation roles are complex and use mathematical models to find the right investment for their clients.

Fund selection - Fund selection specialists spend much of their time analysing individual asset managers, and their products and asking questions about their investment strategy. They will analyse the performance of the pension funds' portfolio, producing regular reports on its strengths and weaknesses.

Those working in asset allocation positions must have an actuarial qualification. Actuarial jobs include using statistical modelling to create forecasts used to mitigate against future risks to potential investments. They will calculate future liabilities and use these projections to advise companies on how to best structure their pension scheme.

Senior investment consultants work in the fund selection division and tend to have the most interaction with clients. Senior consultants make presentations to clients in order to explain the logic behind the investment strategy they have designed in collaboration with other team members, outline its performance and deal with any issues that arise. A single investment consultant will always have a portfolio of clients.

Most fund selection consultants will be expected to have a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) qualification or equivalent.

The role of an investment analyst is to support investment consultants, often working in a team. It is a more junior position which involves little client interaction. Their role is primarily research - drafting investment policies, constructing statistics for client presentations, analysing investment performance of portfolios and producing reports for clients, on a monthly and/or quarterly basis.

There has been an increase in recruitment for support and compliance roles, as investment consultants have grown into large international companies.
