(Do note: The IR EAM job is for suitable applicants with min. 3 years or more marketing experience in asset management/hedge funds/PE/VC or luxury/art industries; not an operations role)
Why? That's the key question. Even more important now as Trump global trade wars are raging.
'It's not the plane, but the pilot' Top Gun 2. If you 'Think Different', look far ahead and believe in being adaptable, this may be the place for you. Successful disruptors believe: It's the \"fight\" in the dog not the \"size\" of the dog that matters.
The long run upside is exponential while downside is limited. No free lunch in the world, time is limited, pursue your passion and be handsomely rewarded, not just monetary wise but also get a sense of total achievement - express your creative ideas and be fairly rewarded with a great performance bonus.
This is a SFC Type 9 licensed Asset Management RO role but we can consider those from discretionary private client accounts with min. 2 years experience in fund management, family office, private banking, PE or IR experience for EAM role.
Our focus is on getting the \"Job to be done\" for investors - a truly challenging & rewarding task to attain 'consistent lower risk' long-term performance via innovation and agility.
Strive to be best of best, don't take orders from top with little common sense for clients or integrity of the job: someone thinks like a scientist, doctor, architect but act with unbridled creativity like an artist, designer, musician - \"Art + Science doer\".
Humble and hungry for success yet take failure with stride to rise above it all for yourself & for team and for clients, always. Customer-centric is what makes firms great not making top dollar for the firm first.
Not the What. Those looking for a high 'basic pay' job like big brand names instead of \"performance driven\" compensation - Do Not Apply. (We seek talents in the 5% not the 95% majority.)
Willing to be contrarian and challenge the status quo. Warren Buffett said once about Benjamin Graham his guru – 'he believed that the markets are wrong' – this totally run contrary to what many market analysts or economists believe the market is priced in and cannot make excess gain (efficient market hypothesis). Macro hedge fund managers like George Soros & Jim Rogers also held the same view and Sir John Templeton a value investor was agile to short-sell tech stocks when 2000 dotcom bubble burst going against Wall St consensus.
Thus, we seek someone HIP, 'unconventional / rebel' from an organization with courage to seek a refreshing change. High confidence, don't accept no for an answer to get the best results for clients; challenge the status quo, good knowledge of financial markets (always learning & questioning) and courage & perspective to be a pragmatic risk-taker. An 'artisan' that never gives up.
If you can bring value to the table - with both skills and \"network\", let's talk for larger \"total package - including % performance bonus\" that can be 2x bonus of big firms.
Yes, we seek \"hidden gems\" that may or may not have 'Ivy League or pedigree backgrounds or connections', but a strong desire to work hard & innovate to win, even stronger desire to stand up after falling. Even the underdog can do well if given a chance. The sky is the limit if you truly believe in resilience.
Resourceful with a good network of existing corporate/HNWI clients (a plus) or know how to find & build. A strategic mindset to drive the future success of the client and our firm under one vision. The ability to persuade adoption of new ideas to capture emerging trends i.e ESG / Sustainability is \"in the investment process\" as climate change
