Your Focus

CF Corporation is looking for an Equity & Capital Markets Analyst to deliver rigorous, insight-led research that informs investment and strategic decision-making across public markets.

Your focus is on developing well-formed investment views grounded in fundamental analysis. You will research companies, industries, and market dynamics in depth – building financial models, testing assumptions, and forming clear theses that can be debated, refined, and acted upon. This is not passive coverage or report production; your work is expected to shape conviction and challenge thinking.

The role requires comfort with ambiguity and breadth. You will cover multiple sectors and situations, prioritise what is material, and balance detailed analysis with an understanding of wider market context. You will engage with company management, industry experts, and internal stakeholders, communicating your research clearly in both written and verbal form.

This role suits someone who is intellectually curious, commercially minded, and disciplined – motivated by understanding how businesses really work and how capital markets price risk, opportunity, and change.

Responsibilities

• Conduct in-depth fundamental research on public companies across multiple sectors and in parallel, private sector firms and analysis of sovereign, government and proxy entities
• Build and maintain detailed financial models to support valuation and investment theses
• Analyse business models, industry dynamics, competitive positioning, and key risks
• Develop clear, well-reasoned investment ideas and communicate them effectively to internal stakeholders
• Support capital markets activity, including IPO analysis, prospectus review, and broader market research
• Monitor market developments, earnings releases, and corporate actions relevant to coverage
• Engage with company management teams and industry experts to deepen understanding and test assumptions
• Synthesize large volumes of information to identify what is material to investment decisions
• Collaborate with colleagues across investment, research, and strategy teams
• Contribute to ongoing refinement of research processes, tools, and workflows
• Maintain high standards of analytical rigour, accuracy, and independence of thought

This role supports investment decision-making through rigorous, insight-led research.

You can absorb complex information quickly, evaluate businesses and markets with discipline, and form clear, well-reasoned views. You approach analysis with structure and commercial judgement, and you are comfortable working with imperfect or evolving information.

You bring pace, resilience, and strong attention to detail, and you work effectively with senior investment professionals with minimal supervision. You contribute thoughtfully to professional discussions, consider alternative perspectives, and use them to refine investment thinking.

This role suits someone who is analytically strong, commercially aware, and prepared to be accountable for the quality, relevance, and impact of their work.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree ideally in Finance, Economics, Accounting, Business, or a related discipline. We accept also individuals from any degree, especially those numerate based
• Experience in investment banking (CF - M&A), asset management, consulting, or a related analytical role in a corporate or investment-based environment
• Strong grounding in financial statements, fundamental analysis, and valuation methodologies
• Proven ability to build and interpret financial models
• Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills, with high attention to detail
• Ability to synthesise complex information and identify what is materially relevant
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present investment views confidently
• Language skills are an advantage

We are open to considering candidates with experience outside of these brackets, if you feel you have the capabilities to deliver on our main criteria.
