Portfolio and Research Implementation Associate (2018-7274)

Job Description

Overview

Are you intellectually curious and ready to learn something new? Do you thrive when faced with a new problem and get excited to figure out a solution? As a portfolio implementation associate you will have an opportunity to learn about our investment process, enhance your operational and analytical skills, and provide internal support to our client relationship managers. This role is in our Portfolio Management Group, which supports the investment process, from ideation to implementation, offering a diverse range of opportunities for engaging work and professional growth.

As a member of the Portfolio Implementation Team you will take the asset allocation recommendations and investment decisions made by the Investment Policy Committee and generate orders for our private client portfolios, to be executed by the Trading team. Our mission is to maintain the integrity of new and existing client portfolios by generating transaction orders consistent with the proper recommendations to help our clients hit their long term goals.

Does all of this sound too “technical”? Don’t worry – we are looking for people from all backgrounds! It is the diversity of thought and ideas that make us all better. We will teach you everything you need to know - we just ask that you bring the passion for learning and improvement!

The Day-to-Day:

• Generating orders for daily account maintenance, investing cash additions and generating cash for withdrawals   
• Coding and manually building out new client’s portfolios
• Processing client trade requests
• Serving as points of contact for Investment Counselor teams to provide trade rational and recommendations for client requests

This is a job for you if you:

• Have a keen eye and high standards for the work you produce
• Thrive in a fast paced environment where you use logic to solve problems quickly
• Are excited to learn, set goals for yourself, and exceed expectations
• Have a list of accomplishments you worked hard for and are ready to add more
• Are a strong written and verbal communicator
• Pride yourself on collaboration and being helpful to others throughout the organization

In addition, if you are a high-achiever with a background in something other than finance, don’t worry-- you won’t be alone at Fisher Investments, where some of our top employees studied subjects that span the humanities and the sciences.

Why Fisher Investments:

Fisher Investments is a different kind of investment firm. We don’t come from Wall Street, nor do we believe we fit in with most of the finance industry, and we’re proud of that. We work for a bigger purpose: bettering the investment universe. From unmatched service to innovative perspectives on investing, it’s the people that make the Fisher purpose possible. After all, it’s our people that enable us to offer the level of service that we do. And we invest in them accordingly, offering exceptional benefits like:

• 100% coverage of premiums for health, vision and dental insurance
• A 50% 401(k) match, up to the IRS maximum
• 20 days of PTO*, plus 9 paid holidays
• 8 week paid Primary Caregiver Parental Leave
• And much, much more

We also provide a cumulative, continuous learning and development framework customized for every employee. This emphasis on personal and professional growth has yielded an award-winning work environment; we’re Great Place to Work Certified, and The Oregonian named us as a 2017 and 2018 Top Workplace.

But in the end, it’s not the perks that keep people here. They stay because they believe in our mission of service—our employees want to make a difference in an industry that can do better.

* California employees accrue up to 17 days of PTO and 3 days of sick time per year.
