Could someone please clarify what this position entails? Portfolio Evaluation Analyst

Hey WSO,

I've been a long time lurker of this forum. I'm about to graduate from my undergrad at a non-target and have been interviewing at a few firms. I'm a bit curious on whether anyone knows exactly what this job entails. I couldn't find much info online but it sounds interesting. This is the job description.

I know fisher investments is looked down upon but my ultimate goal is to work as a research associate or in investment research. I couldn't find many reviews and wanted to see if anyone ever worked here. Thanks!
