Opportunities

A successful career in investing can be highly rewarding, both intellectually and financially. But becoming a good investor is unglamorous hard work. Strong analytical skills and proficiency with quantitative tools are a starting point, but, above all, having the right mindset is key to learning ‘The Platinum Way’.

We value diversity of background and experience, because contrarian thinking and diversity of skills and perspectives are what make us successful investors. A degree in finance and prior work experience in the investing industry are not prerequisites. But if you can demonstrate an ability to think independently and critically, an insatiable curiosity that digs deep into how things truly work, and a mental fortitude that can withstand the vicissitudes of markets, Platinum may be the right place for you.

Investment Analysts

Platinum runs regular recruitment programs for new investment analysts to join our investment team. Candidates without a financial industry background are encouraged to apply, and will be considered along with those who have experience on either the buy- or sell-side.

Ideally, candidates will have at least 3 to 5 years’ experience in the work force. University students nearing the completion of their degree should consider the Internship Program below.

The focus of Platinum’s investment team 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/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 essential.
