About the Role:

The Client Portfolio Manager (CPM) acts as an integral part of the portfolio management team and possesses deep knowledge of capital markets and the team’s investment philosophy and quantitative investment process. The CPM is regarded as a credible investor who acts as the primary interface between our client-facing teams and the investment team. The CPM interacts with the portfolio management team daily to understand past and current portfolio positioning, performance attribution, the rationale for specific holdings and portfolio activity, risk attributes, views of the team/asset class, and has primary responsibility for conveying this information effectively to retail and institutional clients including gatekeepers, research analysts, consultants, and internal colleagues. The CPM will maintain detailed knowledge of the competitive landscape/peer group, stay current on market trends and developments in all relevant distribution channels, and be able to clearly articulate what differentiates our products from the competition. The CPM acts in partnership with rest of the CPM team, the SMA team, marketing, and other relevant partners on business and marketing related projects. The result is a multi-faceted, dynamic, and challenging role that demands highly developed skills in communications, stage presence, relationship building, business acumen, and analytics.
