Monterrey, Nuevo León, México MSCI Inc A tiempo completo

The MSCI Index Research New Product Development (NPD) Team is a global client-centric research group with a broad mandate to carry out analytical research to enhance existing MSCI indexes and develop new index methodologies. This responsibility spans across all MSCI Factor, Thematic, Cap-weighted, and ESG & Climate Indexes in different asset classes. The team currently has a presence in London, Mumbai, Manila, Monterrey, and Toronto. The Index Research NPD group uses a range of analytical tools and methods to investigate new index ideas across asset classes, carry out research and simulations to turn these ideas into new methodologies, conduct client consultations, and launch new indexes through MSCI's world-class index production platform. The group works closely with other groups within research (Analytics, ESG) and across the firm (data, technology, product, coverage) to implement the NPD index research agenda and benefit from the substantial resources and expertise available within the global MSCI organization.

The successful candidate will be a member of the team based in Monterrey and be expected to drive new index research projects from initial concept through research, development, consultation, and successful production implementation. The candidate will:

  1. Carry out extensive back testing, research, and analysis of investment strategies using historical market data, factor models, ESG & Climate characteristics, and portfolio construction tools to build new indexes and generate investment insights.
  2. Work on research projects that include Factor investing, thematic investing, and integration of ESG/Climate considerations in the investment process, conducting in-depth research and analysis to generate investment ideas for investment strategies.
  3. Collaborate with other members of the global research teams to write research papers and blogs on investment strategies.
  4. Work closely with clients to refine new index ideas, ensuring they meet the clients' investment challenges.

Specific Knowledge / Skills:

  1. Understanding of the investment process in different asset classes (e.g., equity, fixed income, currency, etc.), investment styles such as factor investing, ESG-based investments, and thematic investing. Familiarity with quantitative investment approaches such as portfolio optimization, long/short, and leveraged positions is a plus.
  2. Highly developed hands-on analytical and quantitative skills (e.g., time series and cross-sectional analysis) and extensive recent practical experience with statistical and database packages (preferably Python). Hands-on experience with NLP models and other machine learning models will be an advantage.
  3. Familiarity with institutional investment practices, buyside portfolio management concepts, or sell-side quantitative structured products.
  4. Experience in writing technical and research reports.
  5. Excellent interpersonal, communication, and presentation skills.

Desired Experience:

  1. At least 5 years of relevant work experience (e.g., quantitative research, investment management, portfolio analytics, etc.).

Desired Qualification:

  1. Bachelor's/Master's Degree in economics, science/engineering, actuary, or another highly quantitative subject.
  2. CFA, CAIA, or FRM is an advantage.
