HighVista Strategies Overview
The information below covers the role requirements, expected candidate experience, and accompanying qualifications.
HighVista Strategies is a Boston-based investment firm with approximately $10 billion in assets under management and 70 employees.
We were founded in 2004 and manage funds for institutional investors including sovereign wealth funds, endowments, foundations, and pension funds, as well as select family offices and private investors.
We are led by a seasoned team that combines diverse investment experience and operational depth to provide the firm with robust capabilities in pursuing our investment mandate.
Our investment focus is to pursue outsized alpha through investments in inefficient markets. These tend to be more idiosyncratic, smaller capitalization areas of the capital markets where large pools of capital are at a disadvantage given their size.
We believe that exceptional businesses are predicated on having great people. Our culture emphasizes respect, integrity, rigorous thinking, hard work, and a continuous drive for excellence in process and results.
We value diversity in terms of skills, backgrounds, and opinions. We offer an excellent compensation and benefits package commensurate with experience, and a balanced work environment in an entrepreneurial, team-based setting.

Projects will be varied and topics will range from being focused on specific companies and disease areas to evaluating specialist investment partners in the space to working on white papers on larger themes within the sector.
We value a candidate with fluency in scientific / technical matters while also being an articulate communicator and writer who is able to make complicated topics accessible to a broader audience.
The ideal candidate has several years of experience working in industry or as a sell-side research analyst, but we are open to other backgrounds too.
