The firm currently manages over $75 billion in AUM and has experienced robust growth over time. Our mission is to be considered among the premiere value investing firms globally, and we attribute our historical success to an unwavering commitment to our value investing discipline and a relentless focus on investment excellence. We build concentrated portfolios of deeply undervalued companies by performing in-depth, bottom-up fundamental analysis applied to some of the most controversial and intellectually challenging investment opportunities in global equity markets.

Key Responsibilities

Pzena Investment Management is seeking a highly qualified individual to join the firm as a Research Analyst on its equity research team. We follow a disciplined investment process to implement our classic value philosophy as described below.

  • We seek to invest in good businesses trading at depressed valuations, typically due to company-specific or industry-wide stress.
  • Each analyst on the team assumes coverage of one or more industries on a global basis, typically rotating to new coverage after 3-5 years. Analysts need not come in with prior industry expertise in their sectors of coverage and will develop expertise organically and over time.
  • The substance of our work is to perform rigorous, in-depth analysis of key issues through industry research, review of public filings, and meetings with senior management.
  • Final investment decisions are made collaboratively in research review meetings, where the analyst and portfolio managers arrive at consensus through discussion of key issues and review of financial models.
  • Our typical investment holding period is 3-5 years, during which time we continually monitor developments and meet periodically with senior management.

Duties, responsibilities and activities may change at any time.

Requirements

Qualifications:

  • At least 3 years of work experience with a track record of excellence in your field. A variety of expertise can be applicable to effective business analysis. We are open to backgrounds other than asset management, including, but not limited to management consulting, sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics.
  • Graduate degree, CFA, CPA or equivalent is helpful but not required.
  • A strong work ethic.
  • Skilled in using business data to form inferences and to make informed decisions.
  • The ability to work in a self-managed environment as part of a research team.
  • Excellent communication skills.
  • Must be able to be on-site at our New York office. Note: We are currently working in a hybrid environment with 4 days in the office and 1 day remote. You will also have an additional 15 days remote flexibility that can be used at your discretion.

Salary Range: $175,000 - $185,000 USD Annually

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
