Employer Description
Tracing its roots to 1928, Wellington Management Company, LLP has been one of the world's largest independent investment management firms. With US$774 billion in assets under management as of 30 June 2013, we serve as a trusted adviser to institutional clients and mutual fund sponsors in over 50 countries. Our innovative investment solutions are built on the strength of proprietary, independent research and span nearly all segments of the global capital markets, including equity, fixed income, multi-asset, and alternative strategies. As a private partnership whose sole business is investment management, our long-term views and interests are aligned with those of our clients. We are committed to attracting a talented and diverse workforce, and to fostering an open, collaborative culture of inclusivity because we believe multiple perspectives lead to more informed investment and business decisions. We welcome people with diverse life experiences, fresh ideas, and specialized subject-matter expertise.
Responsibilities
Launch Research Associate (RA) Program. The goal of the Program is to provide flexible, value-added analytical resources to support the firm's mission of superior investment performance. Additionally, we endeavor to develop and identify exceptional Launch RAs to build our pipeline of talented investors. Through a series of multiple rotations, program participants will play a critical role in assisting experienced analysts and portfolio managers in conducting research and implementing their investment process.
This particular Launch RA role will be based in Singapore, but there are rotational opportunities (both short and longer term in nature) in our offices around the world including Boston, Hong Kong, London, Radnor, and Tokyo. Interested candidates should have geographic flexibility.

In the first two years in the role, Launch Research Associates should expect to complete a rotation in each of the following investment groups: Global Equity Portfolio Management (GEPM), Fixed Income, and Global Industry Research (GIR). Although less frequent in nature, there may also be opportunities within our Macroanalysis and Asset Allocation (AA) groups. Typically rotations are 3-12 months in length. The duration and nature of each rotation will vary considerably based on investor needs, fit, and the participants' skills and interests.
Examples of the nature of the work include:
- Analyzing potential investment opportunities
- Building and maintaining company financial spreadsheets
- Modeling sophisticated financial instruments
- Completing complex analytical projects
- Researching macroeconomic themes
- Interpreting company announcements
- Attending company meetings & conferences
- Communicating investment ideas in spoken & written form
After two years of rotating, participants may be placed in a longer-term (>1 year) assignment with an investment team (GEPM, Fixed Income or GIR; some opportunities may exist in AA or Macro). The total Launch Program is maximum 5 years in length. The Launch RA's career path during, and after, the five year period is based upon personal interests, individual skill and future potential to become a highly successful investor.
