Associate Investment Strategy FTC 12 months in London

Evelyn Partners is a UK leader in wealth management, providing personalised, expert investment management and financial planning advice to support clients in embracing what’s next. Our success hinges on our people and that’s our secret for longevity. We are a team of passionate professionals and everything we do is guided by our purpose – placing the power of good advice into more hands, we go further to understand the needs of our clients and what matters most to them.

The Financial Services division comprises the advisory and investment management services. Central to the division’s activities is the creation and oversight of its investment process which includes asset allocation and investment selection. Evelyn Partners’ investment methodology has been continually refined over a long period of time to cater for our clients’ broad range of circumstances and requirements. Accordingly, our services include personalised as well as bespoke portfolios, and centrally managed portfolios for clients with similar investment needs. We invest in a wide range of markets and investments, and different approaches may be appropriate through the economic cycle or according to client preference. As long-term stewards, the sustainability of the investments that make up our client portfolios has always been an important consideration.

Our belief is that a collegiate approach to investment decision-making results in the best client outcomes. This includes three key components:

• A fully integrated research function: the individuals who have responsibility for investment recommendations also provide investment and relationship management.
• The asset allocation team which provides macro and quantitative inputs and plays the leading role in drawing together the different elements of investment recommendations.
• A management structure where oversight of the process is led by experienced and practicing Investment Managers from across the business.

One of the key drivers of consistent investment returns is the application of a structured macro-economic view to asset allocations of all our clients’ investment portfolios.

This role is a 12 months fixed term contract with the possibility of extension.
