Principal is looking to hire a Global Equity Analyst to support its Listed Infrastructure (public equity) investment strategy. The Listed Infrastructure team will sit alongside Principal’s award-winning real estate securities team as the firm seeks to broaden its real asset capabilities.

Preference will be given to candidates with a track record of adding value to an investment process through fundamental research and security selection, ideally within the global listed infrastructure universe. Given the nature of the role, successful candidates will also exhibit an entrepreneurial spirit and have a history of working collaboratively within an investment team environment.

  • Bachelor's degree; MBA and/or CFA strongly preferred.
  • Minimum 3 years of public equity experience on either the buy-side or sell-side, with a strong preference for prior experience with utilities and/or transportation infrastructure in Europe, Asia and/or Latin America.

  • Fluency/knowledge of foreign language(s) preferred.
  • Prior emerging markets exposure a plus.
