Portfolio Solution Analyst, Portfolio Construction | SEB Asset Management

We are seeking a highly motivated and collaborative individual to join our team as a Portfolio Analyst within the Asset Management Portfolio Construction team in Helsinki, with the potential opportunity for future relocation to Stockholm.

Since SEB was founded in 1856, our focus on customers and long-term relationships has been at the heart of our success. We aim to drive positive change by providing capital to help everyone reach their goals and accelerate progress towards a sustainable tomorrow. As a leading financial services group in northern Europe, we'll help you grow and empower you to take on more responsibility to create a real difference. Welcome to SEB.

About The Role

As a Portfolio Analyst you will play a crucial part in assisting and later contributing as a skilled specialist to our team of investment professionals. Your responsibilities will include constructing portfolios, conducting portfolio and sustainability analysis for institutional portfolios as an expert who actively participates in client meetings. The ability to analyse market trends and translate them into portfolio construction ideas is an important criterion that the candidate must possess.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is ambitious, highly skilled, and respected investment specialist and passionate about sustainability (ESG) research and analysis. Some of your responsibilities and tasks will include:

• Provide support to the team in portfolio construction and analysis activities, and independently conduct analysis for selected client portfolios.
• Collaborate with other analysts to develop investment strategies and offer recommendations for portfolio construction and adjustments.
• Continuously develop expertise as a highly skilled portfolio analyst and contribute as a specialist in complex institutional client discussions.
• Stay informed about market trends, industry developments, regulatory changes, and ESG-related news.
  
  

To thrive in this role, we believe you have

We believe a successful candidate will have a collaborative, curious and analytical mindset. You have some relevant working experience, ideally with exposure to analytical work in databases, data analysis pools or spreadsheet software, as well as towards relevant banking products.

We are looking for individuals who thrive in an international team, with the ability to collaborate across cultures, communicate effectively, and adapt to diverse work styles. While the role is Nordic-based, candidates who can start in Helsinki and are open to relocating to Stockholm in the future will have an advantage, offering opportunities for closer teamwork and deeper integration with our global operations.

• Has an academic background in a relevant field such as finance or economics.
• Is collaborative with a team-oriented mindset and strong interpersonal skills.
• Has a genuine interest in financial markets, professional investing, and sustainability analysis. An interest in AI-tools, and data analysis is also appreciated.
