• Documenting models, code, assumptions, and research results clearly
• Collaborating directly with senior investment professionals in a small, research-driven environment

Your Profile

• Currently enrolled in the final year of a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Finance, Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering, or another quantitative discipline
• Demonstrable proficiency in Python and MATLAB required — please include code samples, GitHub links, or relevant project work in your application
• Experience using LLM-based agents in a research context desirable
• Strong interest in financial markets, systematic investing, and portfolio construction
• Familiarity with time series analysis, optimization, and statistical modelling
• Previous internship or project experience in a financial or quantitative context desirable
• Strong analytical mindset, attention to detail, and willingness to document work thoroughly
• Ability to work independently with high individual responsibility
• Based locally or willing to commute to Liechtenstein from nearby areas under a cross-border permit
• Fluency in English and German

What We Offer

• A rare opportunity to work at the intersection of quantitative research and live strategy development from the start of your career
• A clear path to a permanent role for strong candidates
• Direct mentorship and close collaboration in a small, entrepreneurial, and intellectually rigorous investment environment
• Paid internship - standard compensation, aligned with qualifications and stage of study
• Flexible working arrangements - home office for part of the week, allowance for academic schedule and thesis commitments
