Company Description
This firm is currently $200M and was founded 4.5 years ago.
Job Description
The position offers a unique opportunity to work directly with a Buffett-style fund's founder/portfolio manager as an analyst. Primary responsibilities include actionable investment idea generation, company and industry due diligence and evaluation of the
risk/reward in potential investment opportunities. Idea sourcing involves extensive screening, independent reading of blogs and trade resources. Thorough due diligence will require developing a deep understanding of the economics and competitive dynamics in
various industries, “scuttlebutt” field research and interacting with senior management. Compensation will be a combination of competitive base salary and performance-based bonus that allows a successful analyst to share in the value created for the firm.
Qualifications
This firm is looking for someone with roughly 1-5 years of experience in finance - ideally someone who has a combination of investment banking, private equity or even potentially equities investing. A successful candidate will be passionate about value
investing (ideally having read the writings of Buffett, Greenblatt, Klarman), intellectually curious and driven. Also, the candidate should already have a track record of personal investing in the small-cap investment universe.
Start Date: Immediate - will consider Summer 2014 start dates (and 2014 MBAs)
