Do you have strong experience in Fund Research, Portfolio Construction and Asset Allocation? Are you currently a senior investment analyst or investment / portfolio manager in the UHNWI/HNWI space?
We have a great permanent opportunity available for an Investment Manager to join an independent private wealth firm in London.
In this role you will assist the Head of investments in ensuring portfolios are managed in accordance with the risk mandate, objectives and the firm's investment proposition.

Client facing skills are essential in this role, but equally important is technical investment experience in terms of fund research, asset allocation, risk taking etc.
It is essential that candidates demonstrate experience of managing portfolios directly for clients, not through IFAs.
