As part of its policy of transferring know-how to the industry, EDHEC-Risk Institute set up ERI Scientific Beta. ERI Scientific Beta is an original initiative which aims to favour the adoption of the latest advances in smart beta
design and implementation by the investment industry. Its academic origin provides the foundation for its strategy: offer, in the best economic conditions possible, the smart beta solutions that are most proven scientifically with full
transparency of both the methods and the associated risks.
As of December 31, 2016, the Scientific Beta indices corresponded to USD 12.3bn in assets under replication.
With offices in Boston, London, Nice, Singapore and Tokyo, ERI Scientific Beta has a dedicated team of 45 people who cover client support, development, production and promotion of its index offering.
As part of the development of its index development activity, ERI Scientific Beta is recruiting two interns for quantitative research analysis. The positions are based in Nice.

Internship: Quantitative Research Analyst — Indices & Benchmarks two vacancies in Nice, France
You will be responsible for quantitative research, performance analysis and reporting on systematic equity investment strategies, including the Scientific Beta smart factor indices.
The role will require you to use concepts from performance measurement and portfolio theory, as well as applied econometrics and statistics to analyse investment strategies. You will analyse performance over time and in different market conditions, assess implementation issues and transaction costs, as well as examine and explain different portfolio construction steps.
The position focuses on computational tasks but also involves reasoned analysis of your results and writing of reports and presentation material based on your quantitative results.
