General Summary and Purpose:
We are seeking a detail-oriented and analytical Analyst II to join our Fund Administration team. This role combines hands-on fund accounting work with oversight of our third-party fund accountant and sub-administrator for a diverse lineup of mutual funds and ETFs.
About 60% of the role is hands-on: validating security prices, preparing fair value analyses, and performing independent NAV checks. About 40% is oversight: reviewing service provider output, challenging results where needed, and supporting the firm's responsibilities as Valuation Designee under Rule 2a-5. The position requires a strong understanding of financial markets, sound judgment, and the ability to work effectively under strict daily deadlines.
You Will:
Fund Accounting and Valuation
- Validate Daily Pricing: Perform independent daily and periodic price validation across multiple asset classes (equities, fixed income, derivatives, and structured products) using primary and secondary vendor sources.
- Research Pricing Exceptions: Investigate stale prices, tolerance breaches, and outlier movements. Source broker quotes or secondary vendor prices, and prepare price challenges and overrides with full documentation.
- Prepare Fair Value Analyses: Calculate and document fair values for securities without readily available market quotations, including halted, illiquid, and defaulted securities. Prepare fair value support and materials for the Valuation Committee.
- Perform Independent NAV Checks: Run shadow and independent NAV checks, including NAV movement analysis, review of price changes, and corporate action impacts. Review income accruals and distribution rates.
- Resolve NAV Variances: Investigate NAV variances and potential NAV errors, quantify impacts, and document root cause and resolution in line with the firm's NAV error policy.
Service Provider Oversight
- Oversee the Fund Accountant: Review the fund accountant's daily pricing output, exception reports, and NAV controls, and confirm that issues are identified, escalated, and resolved on time.
- Challenge Service Provider Results: Evaluate the support provided for prices and NAV results, and escalate or challenge results when the support is not sufficient.
- Oversee Pricing Vendors: Monitor the quality of pricing vendor data (e.g., ICE Data Services, Bloomberg, LSEG, PricingDirect), track vendor challenges, and support periodic vendor due diligence and back-testing reviews.
- Support Board and Committee Reporting: Help prepare periodic valuation reporting for the Valuation Committee and the Board, including fair value activity, price challenges, and back-testing results.
- Track Service Levels and Controls: Monitor service provider performance against agreed service levels and key controls, and contribute to oversight reporting and issue tracking.
Across Both Areas
- Ensure Policy and Control Compliance: Apply the firm's valuation policies and procedures, U.S. GAAP, and internal controls. Maintain clear audit trails for price challenges, overrides, and fair value decisions.
- Collaborate Across Teams: Partner with the fund accountant and sub-administrator, custodians, portfolio management and trading teams, Compliance, and auditors to answer pricing and valuation questions and resolve issues.
- Contribute to Process Improvement: Identify opportunities to strengthen controls, reporting, and automation, and participate in projects such as fund launches, reorganizations, and service provider changes.
You Have:
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
- Experience: 2 to 4 years of experience in fund accounting, pricing or valuation, or fund administration, including hands-on NAV or pricing work.
- Technical Proficiency: Advanced Microsoft Excel skills (lookups, pivot tables, and data formulas) and experience with financial data platforms such as Bloomberg. Experience with portfolio accounting systems is a plus.
- Market Knowledge: Working knowledge of different asset classes, market data sources, and common security valuation methods, including fair value techniques.
- Operational Strengths: Proven ability to work under pressure, meet firm daily cut-off times, and maintain strong attention to detail.
- Communication: Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to question service provider results and explain issues to non-technical stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Fund Experience: Experience with registered investment companies, specifically mutual funds and ETFs under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
- Regulatory Knowledge: Familiarity with Rule 2a-5 fair value requirements, NAV error correction practices, and service provider oversight.
- Certification: Progress toward, or interest in, a professional certification such as the CFA, CIPM, or CPA.

Tips for Your Fund Analyst Job Search
Tailor your resume to fund type
Long-only equity funds and hedge funds look for different things. Highlight DCF modeling and public comps for long-only roles, and stress short-selling analysis or derivatives exposure for hedge fund positions. Generic resumes get screened out fast.
Earn a CFA designation early
Passing CFA Level I or II before you apply signals quantitative rigor and commitment to the investment profession. Many fund analyst postings list it as preferred, and clearing even one level distinguishes you from candidates with identical GPAs.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists fund analyst openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target niche funds alongside large institutions
Boutique credit funds, real assets managers, and single-family offices post openings less visibly but face less competition than bulge-bracket or large-cap equity shops. Searching by strategy type rather than firm size often surfaces strong fits you'd otherwise miss.
Prepare a sample investment pitch
Most fund analyst interviews include a stock pitch or credit memo exercise. Have a fully developed, two-to-three-page write-up ready before your first screen. Walk through your thesis, key risks, and how you sized the position in your model.
Negotiate start date around busy periods
Quarter-end and year-end reporting cycles make it difficult for funds to onboard new analysts. If an offer arrives in November or March, you have room to negotiate a start date that lands after the reporting crunch without it counting against you.
Fund Analyst Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most fund analysts?
The companies hiring the most fund analysts right now include JPMorganChase, Northern Trust, and BNY, with the largest share of openings in New York, Texas, and Illinois, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Concentration tends to track where major asset managers, private equity firms, and investment banks maintain research and portfolio teams.
How many fund analyst jobs are remote?
About 72% of fund analyst openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on, collaborative nature of most investment teams. Sub-areas with the most remote flexibility tend to be quantitative research, data-driven credit analysis, and back-office fund operations roles, where team interaction is less real-time.
How do you become a fund analyst?
Start with a finance, economics, or accounting degree and build Excel modeling skills through coursework or self-study. Pursue internships in investment research, asset management, or corporate finance during school. Begin the CFA program to demonstrate commitment. Apply to entry-level analyst roles at mutual funds, hedge funds, or investment banks, and develop a sample investment pitch before interviews.
How do you get hired as a fund analyst with little experience?
Focus on demonstrating analytical output rather than titles. Build a one-page investment write-up on a stock or credit instrument you've researched independently and bring it to interviews. Internships in accounting, corporate finance, or equity research count heavily. CFA Level I progress, strong modeling skills, and a compelling stock pitch can offset a thin work history with the right fund.
What does the fund analyst interview process look like?
Most fund analyst processes run three to four rounds. An initial phone screen with HR or a recruiter is followed by a technical interview covering valuation methods, accounting concepts, and market knowledge. Candidates then typically complete a written investment pitch or modeling test. Final rounds involve senior portfolio managers or partners who probe your investment thesis, risk awareness, and cultural fit.
Where can I find and apply to fund analyst jobs?
You can find and apply to fund analyst jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search for roles that match your target fund type, strategy, or seniority level and apply directly to each listing that fits your background.
