Investment Analyst

# Interested in stocks and investment?

With the expansion of the group, WinYield is looking for an Investment Analyst with a passion for investment and a good knowledge of writing investment memos. To find the right person for the role, WinYield is currently accepting applications and will hold an Investment Hackathon on Saturday 15 February 2025.

About the Investment Analyst Role

In our Investment Analyst, we're looking for....

• Passion and interest in investing, finance, tech and startups.
• All ages and experience levels.
• Analytical and critical thinking skills.

This position is an opportunity to be an early member of a fast-growing fintech company located in the heart of London. The position includes a competitive package and training, and you will have ongoing contact with the senior advisors and the executive team.

You should apply if you...

• Have a huge passion for investing: you spend your time reading about companies and following the stock market.

You should NOT apply if you are...

• New to investing.
• Looking for a turn in your career but don't know what you should do.

The key missions of this role include...

• Screening and sourcing investment opportunities.
• Deep dive analysis of industries with a focus on the technology sector (Lending, Software, Payments, eCommerce).
• Assistance in execution of investment mandate.

Please apply by completing the application form by 23:59 GMT on 27 January. We will contact you on 03 February 2025 if you are invited to take part in the Investment Hackathon on 15 February 2025.

What is an investment hackathon?

In a hybrid competition over the course of a day, we'll put your skills and passion to the test. During the event, you'll be tasked with pitching your best investment idea, answering questions from the panel and other competitors, and preparing another test on the day. The event will be an informal, relaxed, and collegial competition where you'll get to meet the WinYield team and others who are passionate about investment.

Before the day

Please first submit an application by 23:59 GMT on 27 January 2025. On the application, you’ll answer a few questions about yourself and then you’ll have the chance to show off your knowledge and understanding of investing. A competitive selection process will take your answers into consideration and if you are selected to take part in the Investment Hackathon, we will contact you by 03 February 2025. If you are selected, we ask that you prepare a pitch ahead of time, presenting your best investment idea. The only criteria is that you must pitch an equity stock with market capitalisation no more than USD5B and listed in the United States. Additional information will be provided to those who are selected to participate in the Investment Hackathon.

On the day

The Investment Hackathon will take place on Saturday 15 February 2025 at our offices in Paddington, with the option to join virtually if you are unable to participate in person in London. The competition will be chaperoned and judged by ex-asset managers from UBS and JP Morgan, alongside members of the WinYield team. The day will begin with an introduction from the WinYield team, sharing a bit about what we do and the role of the Investment Analyst in the team. Then it will be your turn as all participants will have 15 minutes to make a pitch, which will be followed by 10 minutes of questions and answers. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions of one another. We’re looking for someone with a real passion for investment and your presentation is an opportunity to let this passion shine. Following the presentations, we will have a short tea and coffee break with the opportunity to network and chat with the WinYield team, chaperones and one another. Participants will then be asked to prepare a case study/test, lasting no more than 15 minutes with 15 minutes of Q&A.

After the day

We will make our decision by 19 February and you will be notified by 21 February of our decision.
