Investment
analysts
The focus of the investment team at Platinum is to unearth undervalued shares from among the thousands of companies that are listed on stock markets around the world. Fundamental to our investment approach is the idea that the stock market hands out no gifts, so in order to identify mispriced shares it is critical that an analyst develops a solid understanding of the businesses he or she examines. Given the diversity of industries and locations under consideration, a strong desire to appreciate the intricacies of the way different businesses work is a common trait of members of the investment team.
Platinum will consider applicants for the role of investment analyst who share this desire and are enthusiastic about searching global stock markets for moneymaking opportunities. Previous experience as an analyst in either funds management or broking is not necessary for an applicant to be successful in securing a role.
If you wish to be considered for an investment
analyst role please write or Email us
an introductory letter explaining your motivations,
interests and suitability.

Platinum uses various devices to make sense of the universe of stocks available in a global context. These include software screening which allows for the selection of companies based on very specific criteria ('screens') across a databank of several thousand companies. We employ quantitative analysts to manage the screening process. The role of quantitative analyst requires high levels of numeracy and strong computer programming skills.

Writer/Editor
for Platinum's interactive web site
Platinum is looking to develop its
brand by introducing a unique, interactive
web site to deepen its relationship with
its clients, advisers and the wider public.
We currently communicate through our quarterly
reports but want to extend this to another
level.
The concept involves writing a daily commentary as well as populating an editorial library. This may encompass reaction and analysis to current market events, emerging trends, portfolio themes, off-the-wall insights, analyst reports, general interest articles, etc. The aim is not simply to report the news but to provide insight, challenge the reader and entice them back. An interactive forum could provide a two-way experience.
The candidate would ideally have a newspaper background and a sound grounding in
economics/finance. We also value the ability to challenge conventional wisdom.
