Investment Analyst

Overview

Join a Dubai-based investment platform with a long-term, global investment mandate across alternative asset classes. This global asset manager actively deploys capital into high-quality private market opportunities, partnering with leading GPs and investing directly through co-investments and select primary transactions. This role offers broad exposure across private markets, close interaction with senior decision-makers, and the opportunity to take responsibility early in a lean, high-caliber investment team.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the full investment lifecycle across alternative asset classes including private equity, private credit, real assets, venture capital, and co-investments
• Conduct in-depth financial analysis, valuation modelling, and scenario analysis for new investment opportunities
• Perform qualitative and quantitative due diligence on external managers, direct investments, and co-investment opportunities
• Prepare high-quality investment memoranda, IC presentations, and supporting materials for internal approval
• Analyse fund structures, terms, and legal documentation in collaboration with external advisors
• Monitor portfolio performance, prepare quarterly reviews, and support ongoing portfolio management activities
• Track market trends, sector themes, and macro developments relevant to private markets
• Coordinate with external GPs, advisors, banks, and service providers as required
  
  

Skills & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, Engineering, or a related discipline
• CFA or progress toward CFA is preferred
• Analyst level: 1-2 years of relevant experience in private equity, private credit, asset management, or alternative investments
• Senior Analyst level: 3-4 years of relevant experience with demonstrable exposure to private market transactions
• Strong financial modelling, valuation, and analytical skills
• Experience reviewing investment structures, fund terms, and transaction documentation
• Highly detail-oriented with strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to manage multiple workstreams in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment
• Commercial mindset with intellectual curiosity across alternative asset classes
  
  

Why This Role Stands Out

This position provides exceptional exposure to the full spectrum of alternative investments within a lean, high-caliber team environment. You'll work closely with senior decision-makers while gaining hands-on experience across private equity, private credit, real assets, venture capital, and co-investments. The role offers significant responsibility early in your career and the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to investment decisions at a global asset manager with a long-term investment mandate.
