Investment Associate Hong Kong

Founded in 2001, Partners Capital is an Outsourced Investment Office acting for distinguished endowments and foundations, senior investment professionals and prominent families across the globe. With $60B in assets under management, the firm constructs customized investment portfolios for its clients, tapping into its deep network of partnerships with what we consider exceptional asset managers across all major asset classes. Clients include INSEAD Business School, New York’s Metropolitan Opera, Eton College, Colorado College, several Oxford and Cambridge University Colleges and several family offices around the world.

The firm employs more than 300 people across its eight offices located in Boston, Texas, New York, London, San Francisco, Paris, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Partners Capital is diverse and inclusive, in people and in thought. Our meritocracy is enabled by fostering a truly inclusive and collaborative culture. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer where diverse perspectives, backgrounds and experiences are valued.

You will initially be allocated eight to ten investment portfolios which will cover a range of institutional and family office clients. The aim of the portfolio management team is to specify, develop and ensure execution of clients’ investment strategies in line with their long‑term targets and goals. You will be expected to gain a deep understanding of investment trends in all traditional and alternative asset classes, as well as sophisticated tools for portfolio construction and management.

In helping manage these portfolios you will work in close teams where you have direct exposure and interactions with client managers who have multiple decades of experience, either within Partners Capital or other highly respected global investment institutions. With their support and training, we expect you to grow into a position to be able to build and develop impactful relationships with clients.

You will join our Private Markets team and will be responsible for research to identify promising investment opportunities and conducting due diligence on asset managers for deployment of our global clients’ capital base. Your role in manager due diligence will result in you having exposure and direct access to some of the most seasoned and high-quality asset managers in the world, given our size and client base has us sought out as an investment partner.

As such we expect our investment associates to display a significant level of maturity and gravitas. Over time you will be expected to develop one or more specialist areas of expertise, manage relationships with managers in those areas and be able to identify and sponsor new investments in those areas through the investment process.

Our business is high growth and highly entrepreneurial in nature. In addition to the above, you will, for variety, take on other activities and projects, which might include:

• researching and improving our portfolio construction knowledge and approach
• assisting with business development
• helping to develop our technological capabilities

We are open to hiring for this position in Singapore or Hong Kong.

We are looking for intellectually curious team players with a strong desire to further our reputation for excellence. You will have good problem‑solving and interpersonal skills and thrive in a collaborative working environment. You need not have worked within the investment management industry, but you will have worked in a professional services role (e.g. within management consulting, investment banking, or accounting) and have a passion for investing.

As we are proponents of lifelong learning, you will be keen to commit to further professional development including the CFA qualification, which we will support. If you believe you have some (or all) of these attributes and are looking to fulfil your potential in an intellectually engaging career with good long‑term progression prospects in a growing firm, we encourage you to apply.

Partners Capital is committed to being a great place to work. We are focused both on wellbeing and professional growth. You can expect professional development and career progression opportunities, competitive compensation, exceptional benefits and a flexible “results-focused” working model.

Our benefits package includes private medical and life insurance, income protection and pension contributions. In addition, we partner with organisations to provide wellness benefits. Partners Capital supports global philanthropy via a charity program and provides a volunteer day for all employees. We also champion a variety of social events.
