I see. Thought that it was part of the investment team which is FO. Guess it’s a few tiers below equity research?

Its not even remotely close to ER. Portfolio analysts are there to manage the asset allocation of unsophisticated dumb ****s who are too braindead to buy index funds and would rather pay higher fees for worse performance. At least ER caters to 'sophisticated' institutional clients.

Does anyone have idea on how role titles/experience is for Temasek/GIC vs the US for front office roles? Specifically, Sr. Asso to AVP - is the latter equivalent to senior associate (post-MBA) in the US?

temasek assoc / senior assoc = yr 1-4
gic assoc = yr 1-4
temasek / gic avp = yr 5-7/8

gic public investment promote faster than private investment so rank can be faster
