Junior Investment Manager

Have you finished your studies and do you want to work at one of the world's largest and most sustainable asset managers? Choose a career with a major social impact: become a junior Investment Manager at PGGM Investments!

Jouw Rol

As an Investment Manager at PGGM Investments, you and your colleagues are responsible for assets of more than 226 billion euros. This way you can assure 4.4 million pension participants of a healthy financial future. A high return is of course very important, but it is not the ultimate solution. PGGM also pays close attention to the impact that its investments have on the environment and society. If they no longer meet our high sustainability standards, they will be sold or improved in consultation with management. This is possible because PGGM Investments actively uses its rights as a shareholder. We often make our voices heard in shareholder meetings, submit resolutions or support those of like-minded fellow shareholders. All this based on the idea that as long-term investors we want to create real value. Both financially and socially.

A selection of your tasks:

• You support the investment managers in managing the portfolios and assessing our asset managers.

• You maintain contact with our asset managers and get a glimpse behind the scenes of some of the best investors in the world.

• You perform quantitative analyzes to support our decision-making process.

• You help write investment proposals.

• You actively contribute to the further development of our investment process and our tooling, so that we make even better decisions. 

Jouw afdeling binnen PGGM

You will work for the External Management team, which is part of the Fiduciary Management department of PGGM Investments. This team consists of eleven experienced investors who are jointly responsible for the selection, monitoring and management of the Multi Manager portfolios in the public markets. One of the colleagues is Brant de Graaf, who has been working here as an investor for 2,5 years. Brant: “Our team manages 90 billion euros, spread over 18 external and 6 internal asset managers. This makes us one of the most important pillars of PGGM Investments' services to its customers. What I like about this job is the close-knit team. We help each other as much as possible and ensure that new colleagues quickly feel at home. PGGM's good employment practices are also important to me. Here you have plenty of room to organize your work as you see fit. Moreover, PGGM offers many opportunities for further development.” 

Jouw achtergrond

You need quite a bit of ambition for this position. Some experience in the financial world is welcome, but certainly not a strict requirement. It is much more important that you are motivated to thoroughly delve into the subject matter and that you quickly master new things. With your proactive, results-oriented and cooperative attitude, you will soon be in the right place here!

You also take with you:

• A completed academic education and demonstrable affinity with financial markets, investing and sustainability

• 0 to 2 years of relevant work experience

• Strong analytical skills and affinity with data and quantitative analyses

• Good command, i.e. speaking and writing, of the Dutch and/or English language
