Hi Usman,

I hope all is well. I was reading your blog and I was wondering if you could help me. I'm looking for jobs at asset management firms (or even financial services more broadly) that require writing and research skills, but not excessive math. Not a research analyst job who builds financial models or evaluates investments, but rather someone who maybe reads all day about a topic (like nanotechnology) and then writes a report or somehow communicates their findings to either an internal customer (a portfolio manager) or an external customer (investors). Surely there must be a need for that?

Any ideas where I can find information on these roles, what the roles are called, the skills required, who gets hired and what their background is, where the demand is, etc?

Best,
T.R.
