Associate, Public Markets

Key responsibilities

• Build and maintain detailed earnings models using primary Japanese-language source documents (securities filings, earnings releases, investor materials).
• Conduct primary research on assigned coverage companies across multiple sectors.
• Participate in, and progressively take ownership of, management meetings conducted in Japanese.
• Contribute to investment theses, portfolio construction discussions, and investment committee materials and presentations in English.

Qualifications, Experience and Skills:

• 1–2 years of experience in investment research (buy-side or sell-side).
• Strong financial modeling skills; earnings model construction directly from Japanese-language source materials is non-negotiable.
• Japanese language fluency: spoken and culturally fluent, with sufficient reading ability to independently work through source documents and engage with management.
• Intellectual curiosity across industries; ability to identify patterns, apply frameworks, and learn unfamiliar business models quickly.
• Clear interest in long-term, fundamentals-driven public equity investing.
