Hedge Fund Research Analyst

Who We Are

Heritage is a modern global investment office built by a collective of respected families and entrepreneurs with over a century of business-building experience. We provide privileged access to top-performing alternative assets, superior portfolio construction, and a technology-enabled open-architecture platform connecting clients to some of the world’s most exclusive opportunities.

We believe in mastery. Our investment team brings direct experience from leading institutional hedge fund platforms, asset managers, and allocators, supported by rigorous research frameworks and disciplined portfolio construction.

We believe in alignment. We invest alongside our clients with real skin in the game, applying the same standards and governance used for the founding families.

We believe in technology. Our advanced digital platform centralizes, analyses, and benchmarks portfolios across managers, strategies, and asset classes, enabling better decision-making and risk management at scale.

Your Role

As a Hedge Fund Research, you will lead manager research, selection, and ongoing oversight across offshore and UCITS hedge fund strategies, supporting institutional-quality hedge fund allocations for UHNW clients.

The role is research- and governance-led, not discretionary portfolio management, and includes meaningful interaction with clients and advisors. You will work closely with senior investment professionals and the Investment Committee, while also helping advisors and clients understand portfolio positioning, manager roles, and risk characteristics.

Your responsibilities will include:

Sourcing, evaluating, and selecting hedge fund managers across core strategies

Owning the hedge fund due diligence and conviction framework (buy, watch, avoid)

Leading ongoing manager monitoring and recommending adds, trims, or exits

Advising on fund terms, fees, liquidity, and capacity constraints

Preparing and presenting materials to the Investment Committee

Supporting client- and advisor-facing discussions, including portfolio updates, manager positioning, and strategy education

Building and maintaining senior relationships with hedge fund managers and key counterparties

This role offers direct exposure to senior leadership, the Investment Committee, global hedge fund managers, and UHNW clients.

Offshore hedge fund experience is essential; UCITS experience is strongly preferred

Broad understanding across hedge fund strategies, with a strong ability to distinguish true alpha from disguised beta

Proven track record in manager sourcing, not just monitoring, supported by a credible global network across managers, prime brokers, capital introduction, and the allocator community

Strong analytical skills and experience working with risk, performance, and portfolio analytics

Proven ability to draft high-quality investment papers and present under Investment Committee scrutiny

Strong written and verbal communication skills in English

Prior experience working with UCITS hedge fund platforms

Exposure to UHNW client portfolios or multi-family office environments

Familiarity with hedge fund analytics and reporting tools

What We Offer

Work alongside top-tier professionals from leading institutional investment platforms and global family offices

Direct exposure to top-tier and emerging hedge fund managers globally

A high-performance, collaborative, and entrepreneurial culture

Real responsibility and ownership from day one

Opportunity to help shape hedge fund research, governance, and allocation frameworks within a growing, tech-enabled platform

Clear growth paths and increasing responsibility as the platform scales
