Role Overview 

As an expert Research Analyst at G-20, you will be responsible for producing high-conviction, actionable investment research across US equities, with a primary focus on Energy, the "Magnificent 7" mega-cap technology names, and Semiconductors. You will work closely with portfolio managers and traders to translate deep fundamental and thematic research into differentiated investment ideas, supporting G-20's decision-making across its trading and investment strategies.

Responsibilities

• Conduct in-depth fundamental research and financial modeling on US Energy stocks, Magnificent 7 names (Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta, Tesla), and Semiconductor companies. 
• Develop and maintain detailed earnings models, valuation frameworks, and scenario analyses to support investment and trading decisions. 
• Monitor sector-specific catalysts, including earnings releases, capex cycles, supply/demand dynamics, regulatory developments, and technological trends (e.g. AI infrastructure buildout, chip supply chains, energy transition themes, OPEC+ policy). 
• Generate timely, well-argued investment theses and actionable trade ideas, clearly articulating risk/reward and key catalysts. 
• Build and maintain relationships with company management teams, sell-side analysts, and industry contacts to enhance information edge. 
• Track macro and geopolitical developments relevant to covered sectors (e.g. oil supply dynamics, semiconductor export controls, AI capex trends) and assess their portfolio impact. 
• Collaborate closely with portfolio managers and traders to size positions, manage risk, and refine entry/exit strategies based on research views. 
• Present research findings clearly and concisely through written notes and verbal briefings, ensuring key messages are actionable for trading decisions. 
• Continuously refine coverage frameworks, data sources, and analytical tools to improve research quality and efficiency. 

Requirements

• Degree in Finance, Economics, Engineering, or a related field from a top-tier university; CFA or equivalent professional qualification is a plus. 
• Minimum 5+ years of equity research experience (sell-side or buy-side), with demonstrated coverage of Energy, large-cap Technology, and/or Semiconductor sectors. 
• Strong financial modeling, valuation, and analytical skills, with a track record of generating differentiated, high-conviction investment ideas. 
• Deep understanding of the drivers specific to each coverage area: commodity price dynamics and energy markets, mega-cap tech competitive positioning and AI-driven growth narratives, and semiconductor cycle/supply chain dynamics. 
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distill complex analysis into clear, actionable investment views. 
• Proven ability to work under pressure in a fast-paced trading environment, with strong attention to detail and intellectual curiosity. 
• Self-motivated, proactive, and comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy while collaborating effectively with traders and portfolio managers. 

Preferred / Desirable Experience 

• Prior experience at a top-tier sell-side research firm, hedge fund, or proprietary trading firm. 
• Established network of industry contacts, management teams, and sell-side relationships across covered sectors. 
• Proficiency with financial data and analytical tools (e.g. Bloomberg, FactSet, Python, Excel/VBA, SQL). 
• Experience working closely with trading desks to translate research into position sizing and risk management decisions.
