Functional Title:  Investment Analyst (2 Open Positions) 

Location: New York

Background information:

Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP is a global investment management firm. Founded in 1983, Davidson Kempner is headquartered in New York and has offices in Philadelphia, London, Dublin, Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Mumbai. Our Firm invests globally and opportunistically across the capital structure, in a variety of credit and equity strategies as well as real assets. We apply our multi-dimensional, research-driven investment process to evaluate and execute a diverse range of transactions across asset classes, geographies and market cycles. We target complex, global situations where our experience and expertise can unlock value.

We bring together exceptional people from different disciplines and backgrounds who are energized by the challenges of navigating complexity. We look for people who demonstrate exceptional critical thinking skills, innate curiosity, creativity and embrace diverse viewpoints to calibrate their decisions. These differentiators make our people successful beyond a specific job at Davidson Kempner – but throughout their journey with us over many years.

 

Role Description: 

This is a 2-year analyst program that will involve a rotation in the first year across different investment teams within credit and equities, ranging from U.S. Corporate Distressed, Real Estate, Structured Products, L/S Credit, Convertible Arb, Merger Arb, Special Situations and L/S Equities.   The experience will provide exposure to both private and public equity and credit markets.  We will offer excel, corporate finance and accounting training, including access to extensive virtual programs, but most of the learning will come from apprenticeship and working side by side with the investment teams. In the second year of the program the analyst will remain with one team to gain deeper knowledge and further develop skills.  There is an opportunity to stay beyond the two years for analysts who perform at a high level.

No prior investment experience is expected but an interest in markets and investing is a plus.  Responsibilities include working with the team to identify, research and recommend potential investments and monitor an investment from initiation to conclusion. The right candidate will be a self-starter and an independent, critical thinker who can work in an environment that emphasizes teamwork.

Ideal Candidate Qualifications: 

  • 2025 Undergraduate Student (REQUIRED)
  • Strong academic achievement and analytical skills
  • Excellent oral and written communication
  • Ability to think quickly, critically and objectively
  • Team player
  • Self-motivated, pro-active and entrepreneurial spirit
  • Extracurriculars and leadership experience is a plus

Skills/Knowledge that will be developed:

  • Ability to construct and articulate investment ideas
  • An understanding of accounting and corporate finance and ability to create financial models
  • Transaction analysis, due diligence, investment research, negotiation, and project management

All resume submissions due by June 21, 2024.
