About the role
- On the Vectis side, you'll be the primary investment professional on the RIA platform, owning the full client investment lifecycle for UHNW individuals and families-from proposals and portfolio construction through trading, reviews, and long-term strategy.
- You can move from a strategic conversation about a family's long-term allocation to a specific trade list, from a prospect proposal to a manager diligence memo, and from an IC recommendation to an operational follow-through plan.
- Serve as the primary investment professional for Vectis RIA clients, delivering institutional-grade portfolio management to UHNW individuals and families.
Responsibilities
- Across both firms, you'll source managers and lead due diligence, prepare investment committee materials, monitor portfolios, and partner with the investment team on Equi's funds and white-label products.
- Build repeatable controls that make client investment recommendations, trading instructions, subscriptions/redemptions, and monitoring updates accurate, timely, and auditable.
- Own the investment proposal process for prospects and existing clients, translating account statements, goals, constraints, risk tolerance, and advisor notes into clear recommendations.
- Build client-ready investment materials that explain the recommended portfolio, role of each allocation, key risks, implementation steps, and expected monitoring cadence.
- Partner with advisors before and after meetings so proposals are responsive to real client needs rather than generic model output.
- Collaborate with the lead advisor on quarterly and ad-hoc client portfolio reviews, including current positioning, performance drivers, risk exposures, liquidity, tax/implementation constraints, and recommended changes.
- Maintain strong manager relationships while preserving fiduciary skepticism and negotiating for transparency, capacity, liquidity, and structuring flexibility where relevant.
- Partner with the investment team on Equi's funds and white-label products, contributing portfolio construction and product development input.
Requirements
- 8-12 years of experience in investment strategy, portfolio construction, manager research, private wealth, family office, MFO, RIA, OCIO, fund of funds, investment consulting, or alternatives.
- Ability to write concise investment memos, IC materials, client proposals, advisor notes, and manager monitoring updates.
- Demonstrated experience as a primary or senior investment professional for UHNW, family office, or institutional clients, including building proposals and portfolio recommendations-preferably in an MFO/RIA or family-office setting.
- Hands-on portfolio construction and client portfolio implementation experience, including rebalancing, trade-list preparation, subscriptions/redemptions, liquidity windows, and operational coordination.
- Strong manager sourcing and due diligence experience across marketable and/or private fund strategies, including investment diligence and operational diligence.
- Senior communication presence with advisors, clients, managers, investment committee members, operations, legal/compliance, and internal investment colleagues.
- High fiduciary judgment, strong attention to detail, and comfort being accountable for portfolio recommendations and implementation follow-through.
Nice to have
- Strong Excel and analytical skills
- experience with portfolio analytics, CRM/reporting tools, Python/SQL, or AI-enabled workflow automation is a plus.
- CFA, CAIA, MBA, or relevant graduate training is a plus but not a substitute for proven judgment and execution.
Company info
- Equi designs and manages institutional-quality alternative investment solutions, including Equi-branded funds and white-label fund of funds products for independent multi-family offices and advisory firms.
- Vectis Capital, Equi's sister company, is a multi-family office and RIA delivering full family-office services and institutional-grade investment management to ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families, with alternatives central to its approach.
- Together, the two firms offer an unusually broad mandate-full ownership of UHNW client portfolios at Vectis alongside manager research that informs investment decisions across both firms.
- We are seeking an Investment Strategist / Investment Director with roughly 8-12 years of relevant experience to own a hybrid mandate spanning both firms, weighted approximately 60% Vectis and 40% Equi.
