Portfolios are multi-asset, spanning liquid and semi-liquid investments, often across multiple banks and counterparties. The role carries direct ownership of portfolio oversight, from asset allocation, fees, liquidity and risk to the quality of the investments proposed to clients.

The role reports to Head of Portfolio Management, and cross-reports to the Relationship Managers. It works in close collaboration with both, providing RMs with timely, high-quality investment input and the confidence that their clients are being taken care of even when they are not looking.

• Solid experience in portfolio management or advisory, ideally for UHNW individuals, within a Multi-Family Office, OCIO, Private Bank or Wealth Manager

• Strong grasp of portfolio construction and asset allocation, including strategic vs tactical allocation and diversification principles, and the ability to assess multi-asset portfolios (liquid and semi-liquid)

• Ability to analyze investment products proposed by banks and asset managers, with a solid understanding of fees (explicit and implicit), liquidity terms and risk drivers

• Experience monitoring portfolio performance, attribution and risk metrics

• Comfortable interacting with sophisticated UHNW clients and Relationship Managers, and able to explain investment concepts clearly and credibly, both verbally and in writing
