A Career with [Employer hidden]’s Fundamental Equities Business

Fundamental Equities is [Employer hidden]’s largest and longest-tenured investing business. For more than 30 years, we have equipped our analysts and portfolio managers with the resources, autonomy, and support we believe they need to build exceptional careers that reflect their unique strengths as investors.

We maintain a high bar for hiring and make a deep, long-term investment in our talent—the tenure of our people reflects our focus on understanding and underwriting process, not just looking at yesterday’s PnL.

Steve Cohen started this firm as an equities investor and has maintained a lifelong commitment to helping the best in our industry get even better. We have a strong track record of identifying, supporting, and advancing our homegrown talent—as of this posting, more than half of the PMs launched through our emerging manger program, [Employer hidden] LaunchPoint, were previously analysts at our firm. This commitment is further reinforced through dedicated coaching and development programs designed to help accelerate growth at every phase of an analyst’s career.

For people with the passion and drive to become truly great equities investors, [Employer hidden] offers an environment unlike any other.
