About Future Group

Future Group is not your traditional financial services company – we're a collective of super funds and services committed to changing our planet now for a better tomorrow. When you join us, you’ll become part of a team united by a clear and important mission: to lead the investment movement by advocating and campaigning for a future worth retiring into.

We’re looking for an Investment Analyst to join our institutional investment management team and support our investment selection, monitoring and ongoing management activities across multiple asset classes.

Your north star is all things investments. Your guardrails are your desire to help us deliver strong investment returns and your belief that the right investments can bring about change that can be beneficial for all.

And the best bit, you’ll get to work with some fantastic like-minded people! The issues we face are complex, so we believe the more diverse our team is, the better our solutions become. We strongly encourage applications from people with diverse lived experience and identities. We are a team that is all about building a strong, high-performing workplace culture, where we are always learning and doing better together, and hold ourselves accountable to our values.

Future Group values lived experience and we encourage applications from people with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, who have caring responsibilities, from culturally and racially marginalised groups, people with disability, people who experience ageism, LGBTQIA+ people, and people who experience social exclusion because of their social class.

You’ll love this job if:

• You’re fascinated by the world of investments and will thrive on being deeply involved in the investment process, from research and analysis to decision-making and portfolio management.
• You love sharing your ideas. At Future Group, you're not just a small fish in a big pond. Your contributions have a direct influence on our impact and how we work.
• You like to be kept on your toes and you want to learn. Change is inevitable here – you like to tackle new challenges, and maybe even discover talents you never knew you had.
• You know we will be able to count on your keen attention to detail and deadlines.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Believes in Future Group’s mission, in leading the divestment of fossil fuels, and in using the power of money to build a sustainable and equitable world.
• Is self-motivated, curious and adaptable – with a strong affinity for critical thinking, analysing and presenting information, time management and communication.
• Has 1+ years’ experience in a relevant financial services setting, an understanding of financial investment concepts and can demonstrate strong Excel and writing skills.

As the Investment Analyst you will:

• Support the team in investment and asset management activities, including investment research, financial analysis, due diligence, deal support, administrative tasks and communications
• Contribute to high-quality research, commentary and reporting on investment managers, portfolios and client business
• Manage the team’s information flows, acting as the primary point of contact for the collection, management and distribution of investment information, documents and data.
• Schedule and coordinate investment management team business, including the investment manager monitoring program.
• Coordinate the operational due diligence program.
• Contribute significantly to the team-wide quarterly investment reporting process, taking the lead as the main author for reporting on investment manager performance and developments.

Don’t yet tick all the boxes? That’s okay, we like thinking outside the box anyway. We value your skills, commitment and what you can bring to the team as a person – so if this job strikes a chord in you, we want to hear from you!
