Model Portfolio Solutions Analyst
Shape the next generation of portfolio solutions.
Vanguard's Model Portfolio Solutions function is at the center of how we design and deliver innovative portfolios for our clients. As part of this growing team, we are seeking a Model Portfolio Solutions Analyst to play a critical role in building, managing, and evolving solutions that reflect Vanguard's best thinking.
This is a unique opportunity to work at the heart of Vanguard's investment engine, where your expertise will help bring innovative, client-focused solutions-from core model portfolios to custom glide paths and hybrid private/public blends-to market.
Responsibilities:
- Manage portfolios: Lead the creation, management, and enhancement of a suite of model portfolios and custom glide paths aligned with investor needs across channels and markets.
- Develop new solutions: Partner with business units to design innovative portfolio solutions, including custom multi-asset models and strategies that integrate both public and private markets.
- Apply rigor: Incorporate Vanguard's capital markets assumptions (CMA) into portfolio construction across a wide spectrum of asset classes-equities, fixed income, private credit, and private equity-while applying techniques such as tax-aware investing and factor-based solutions.
- Engage stakeholders: Collaborate with distribution, product, and client-facing teams to ensure alignment and adoption of models and glide paths.
- Deliver insights: Contribute to analytics, performance attribution, and thought leadership that highlight the value of Vanguard's multi-asset solutions.
Qualifications:
- 1-7 years of experience in multi-asset investing, portfolio construction, investment research, or a related field.
- Familiarity with capital markets assumptions (CMA), private/illiquid assets, or custom portfolio design is a plus, but not required.
- Knowledge of risk tools such as Barra is a plus, but not required.
- Strong analytical skills and curiosity to explore innovative approaches to asset allocation across diverse asset classes.
- Excellent communication skills-the ability to explain investment concepts clearly to different audiences.
- Collaborative, adaptable, and eager to learn in a dynamic team environment.
- Education: Bachelor's, Master's, MBA, or PhD-all backgrounds welcome.
