investment dialogue promotes collaborative discussions on securities across a range of diverse perspectives; the
freedom to disagree and to make independent decisions on behalf of our clients is paramount to our culture.

Within our Alternatives platform, we are seeking an Equity Analyst (“Analyst”) to join our new Climate Market Neutral

risk across industries worldwide. The Analyst will work closely with the Portfolio Manager to generate, research, and
implement investment ideas for the unconstrained portfolio. In addition, the Analyst will conduct fundamental
research that leads to differentiated insights derived from asking innovative questions, anticipating trends, and
identifying risks and potential disruptions in a rapidly changing industry.

• Investment acumen and passion – The Equity Analyst will have experience analyzing equity securities across
a broad array of sectors and subsectors within the sustainable investing universe, ideally with an emphasis on
industrials/capital goods. The ability to identify mispricing and valuation discrepancies, make investment
recommendations, and communicate his/her findings to the Portfolio Manager is required. The ideal
candidate will be passionate about markets with a demonstrated track record of successful stock
recommendations. In addition, the Analyst must exhibit a fundamental, research oriented, bottom-up
approach, supported by an investment philosophy and process, and be able to implement ideas through an
analytical framework. Experience building and maintaining detailed technical financial models is required.

benefits of diverse perspectives. The ability to communicate (both verbally and in writing) action-oriented
opinions clearly and with conviction, and contribute to an open investment dialogue, is important.
