Mutual of America Financial Group / Capital Management
Job Title: Lead Trading & Operations
Location: New York, NY (hybrid)

Who We Are:

At Mutual of America Financial Group, we help people build the assets they need to achieve greater financial security. Our Company is built upon a solid foundation of integrity, excellence, and social responsibility. We were founded in 1945 to provide small and mid-sized nonprofit organizations with pension and retirement-related services, along with leading customer support. Today, we provide these services also to for-profit companies, as well as to governmental entities, Tribal enterprises, institutional investors, and individuals. We work diligently to understand the needs of our customers so we can help them achieve their financial savings goals.

As the need to create additional investment strategies beyond those that were being managed for Mutual of America Life Insurance Company’s traditional retirement business became evident, Mutual of America Capital Management evolved into an independent, wholly owned subsidiary of Mutual of America. This important change enabled Mutual of America Capital Management to provide an enhanced array of investment solutions and services to a broader client base.

Mutual of America Capital Management manages approximately $29 billion across a variety of strategies. We embrace a nimble, entrepreneurial spirit, while maintaining the core competencies, long-term views and financial strength of our parent company, Mutual of America Life Insurance Company.

Managed by an experienced team of investment professionals, our strategies include both fixed income and equity offerings. We offer both mutual funds and customized investment solutions that support a variety of investment objectives and strategies for individuals and institutions.

We are committed to bringing talented and motivated people together to help our customers achieve a financially secure future.
