  • Portfolio Manager / Managing Director; $90-150K + $40K

    Apply for Job Here 

    PORTFOLIO MANAGER/MANAGING DIRECTOR OPPORTUNITY FOR THE RIGHT PERSON


    Company:
    We are an independent asset management firm that has built up a loyal client base with assets of $45 million. We currently have three employees and manage separate accounts with an emphasis on asset allocation. Portfolios are structured using equities and fixed income holdings. Equities are chosen following in-depth, in-house research of individual stocks, and fixed income exposure comes primarily through well-researched, high quality mutual funds. We are small but well respected. Our philosophy is to invest based on rigorous analysis of long-term company fundamentals using both value and GARP strategies. Our portfolios have outperformed the S&P 500 by 400 basis points on average annually over the last 10 years.

    Description:
    This is a very key position. We are seeking an entrepreneurial individual with a passion and talent for investing to join our firm as Portfolio Manager and hit the ground running from the day one to help our founder run and grow the business. We foresee the person will become, in a few years, our primary decision maker on investments and asset allocation and will run the business.
     Requirements

    Qualifications:

    We are looking to hire a person with keen understanding of the major issues facing investors today and a commitment to deep investment research who can generate superior portfolio returns. The ideal candidate for our Portfolio Manager position would be someone with 5-15 years of experience in the investment industry who is already comfortable with making investment decisions and can also help our firm’s founder to grow the platform by soliciting new business. Our plan is to transition primary responsibility for investments and asset allocation to the Portfolio Manager, with the founder focusing primarily on growing the business.


    Compensation:
    The package will consist of a base salary of $90,000-150,000 plus bonus and part ownership in the business. For a high-powered person with the appropriate background this could be a very attractive opening—the Portfolio Manager will have the possibility to make several times the base salary and eventually own a significant portion of the business if he can help grow it.Interested candidates should send a resume and short cover letter by email either through CareerBuilder or directly to [Click Here to Email Your Resumé].
