📋 Description

• Mentis AI is at the forefront of integrating institutional investment expertise with cutting-edge frontier AI systems. We are a unique team that merges profound asset management experience, honed at prestigious firms like Lazard and Partners Group, with advanced machine learning and applied AI research. Our operations span London and San Francisco, and we actively collaborate with leading AI laboratories to pioneer advancements in how AI models reason, generalize their understanding, and make critical decisions within high-stakes financial environments. We are seeking accomplished Asset Management Professionals for a part-time AI Residency, offering a unique opportunity to shape the future of AI in finance.
• The landscape of investment is undergoing a profound transformation, with Artificial Intelligence rapidly becoming an integral part of core investment workflows. This encompasses a wide spectrum of activities, from the meticulous process of securities research and the strategic construction of portfolios to the critical areas of risk management and the nuanced delivery of client reporting. This residency is meticulously designed for seasoned research analysts and portfolio managers who are eager to gain early, practical, and in-depth exposure to the methodologies behind building, rigorously evaluating, and continuously improving advanced AI systems specifically within the context of long-only fundamental investing.
• As an AI Resident, your role will be pivotal in bridging the gap between traditional investment acumen and the burgeoning capabilities of AI. You will be instrumental in constructing expert benchmarks, developing and validating real-world investment cases, conducting thorough securities analyses, and establishing robust portfolio management frameworks. These outputs will serve as the critical yardstick against which the performance and reasoning of frontier AI systems are measured and understood. Your work will directly inform the development and refinement of AI tools designed for the financial sector.
• A significant aspect of your contribution will involve stress-testing the reasoning capabilities of AI models. This entails a deep dive into diagnosing potential weaknesses within AI-generated investment analyses. You will be tasked with identifying specific areas where the AI’s logic, underlying assumptions, or market intuition falter, providing invaluable feedback for model improvement. This diagnostic process is crucial for ensuring the reliability and efficacy of AI in complex financial decision-making.
• Furthermore, you will play a key role in designing sophisticated frameworks that translate the intricate processes institutional investors use for evaluating securities, constructing portfolios, and managing risk into well-defined problems. These frameworks will be designed to challenge and push the boundaries of AI reasoning, encouraging the development of more sophisticated and nuanced AI capabilities.
• A core objective of this residency is to systematically compare and contrast human versus machine judgment. You will meticulously evaluate the divergences and convergences between the sophisticated reasoning of professional investment managers and the outputs generated by AI systems. This comparative analysis will span various asset classes, including equities, fixed income, and multi-asset contexts, providing a comprehensive understanding of AI's current capabilities and future potential in investment decision-making.
• This experience offers an unparalleled opportunity to position yourself at the vanguard of financial innovation. You will be among the very first institutional investment professionals to work directly on how frontier AI models grapple with and reason about public markets and the complexities of portfolio management. This hands-on engagement will equip you with a distinctive and highly sought-after profile, ideal for those aspiring to operate at the critical intersection of investing and artificial intelligence, whether within established asset management firms, innovative AI companies, or through entrepreneurial ventures.
• You will gain invaluable, practical exposure to the transformative ways AI is reshaping fundamental investment workflows. This includes not only research and portfolio construction but also extends to client communication strategies and the sophisticated methods of risk attribution. This residency is designed to provide a comprehensive and immersive learning experience, preparing you for the evolving demands of the financial industry.
• The residency structure is designed for flexibility and professional engagement. We require a commitment of 15+ hours per week, with flexible scheduling to accommodate your existing professional responsibilities. The role is remote globally, offering the convenience of working from anywhere, or in-person if you are based in London or San Francisco. This is a paid professional engagement, reflecting the value of your expertise and contribution. We are hiring immediately with a rolling start date, allowing motivated candidates to begin their journey with us without delay.
