About the Analyst The Analyst started life in 2010 as a blog run by buy-side analysts obsessed with stock picking, forensic research, and uncovering what others missed - calling out bad governance, spotting accounting tricks, and catching inflection points ahead of the market. That mindset still drives everything we do. Today, we're a leading independent equity research provider, delivering differentiated, high-conviction ideas to an exclusive client base of some of the world's leading mutual funds and hedge funds. We've grown, refined our processes, and expanded our coverage - but we've never compromised on our independence or the rigour behind our work. Today, we're a close-knit team of 18 spanning Research, Sales, Compliance, Finance, Creative, and Operations. We work in a lean, collaborative way - people are trusted to take ownership, contribute ideas, and have genuine impact. Our Research team currently consists of four Senior Analysts (including our Founder/CEO), one Analyst, and one Junior Analyst. As we continue to grow, we're hiring at both Analyst and Junior Analyst level.
