What are the responsibilities and job description for the Contract Equity Analyst position at ICLUBcentral, Inc (subsidiary of BetterInvesting, a 75-year-old nonprofit investment education org)?
Engagement: Independent contractor; minimum six-month commitment, renewable; fixed fee per completed analysis
The Opportunity
ICLUBcentral publishes three established stock newsletters read by thousands of investors: the Investor Advisory Service, named to the Hulbert Investment Newsletter Honor Roll for 16 consecutive years; the SmallCap Informer; and the Dividend Informer.
We are seeking CFA charterholders with a background in equity analysis to write detailed analyses of assigned U.S.-listed companies, one to two per month. Each analysis follows an established framework for its newsletter and is built on BetterInvesting's Stock Selection Guide (SSG) methodology, a fundamentals-based approach centered on long-term growth in sales and earnings, management quality, and valuation over a five-year horizon. Prior SSG experience is not required; you must be willing to learn it and use it as your analytical framework. Training and reference materials are provided, and the editor reviews early work closely.
For the right analyst, this engagement may lead to a full-time position involving the newsletter business end-to-end, three to six analyses per month, and expanded responsibilities within BetterInvesting's educational mission for individual investors.
What You Bring
- CFA charterholder in good standing
- Demonstrated experience in fundamental equity analysis and valuation
- Exceptional writing ability, particularly in explaining investment analysis clearly to individual investors
- Alignment with BetterInvesting's fundamental, long-term investing philosophy
- Comfort working within an established framework and delivering on deadline
Terms
- Fixed fee per completed analysis; one revision cycle based on editor feedback
- Work-for-hire, with intellectual property assigned to ICLUBcentral; work may not be published elsewhere
- Disclosure of any personal position in assigned companies and compliance with ICLUBcentral's personal trading guidelines
How to Apply
Submit a resume, a brief note confirming your CFA status and describing your equity analysis background, and one writing sample reflecting your analytical work. Finalists will be asked to complete a short stock analysis exercise using the SSG framework.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Thank you for your interest.
ICLUBcentral is an equal opportunity employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive team.
