Family Office Investment Services Manager
FSM seeks a CFA Charter holder to lead investment services delivery — and directly manage capital — across a growing roster of ultra-high-net-worth client families. This role carries a dual mandate: you are both the institutional framework builder who ensures every advisor is tracked, benchmarked, and held accountable, and a discretionary portfolio manager with direct responsibility for assigned capital sleeves within each client's overall allocation.
This is a rare seat for a CFA who has managed real money, is fluent in multi-asset portfolio construction, and can simultaneously operate at the orchestration level — sitting above a roster of outside managers — and at the execution level, managing positions directly. You will not be a passive scorekeeper. You will be in the game.
What You'll OwnDiscretionary Portfolio Management
- Manage assigned capital sleeves across client portfolios on a fully discretionary basis, spanning liquid equities, fixed income, and select alternatives
- Construct and maintain model portfolios with explicit factor exposures, benchmark targets, and risk budgets approved by the client principal
- Execute investment decisions including security selection, position sizing, rebalancing, and tactical allocation shifts within the agreed investment policy statement (IPS)
- Generate time-weighted and money-weighted return reporting on directly managed sleeves, held to the same S&P 500 benchmark standard applied to all outside managers
- Produce written investment rationale for every material position change — no undocumented trades
- Coordinate with client tax advisors on tax-lot management, wash sale rules, and the interaction between active trading and the client's broader tax posture
Investment Oversight & Multi-Manager Coordination
- Maintain and continuously improve performance measurement frameworks for each client's full advisor roster, benchmarked against the S&P 500 and appropriate secondary indices
- Produce quarterly manager scorecards covering rolling 1-, 3-, and 5-year returns (gross and net of fees), with plain-English summaries written for principals, not advisors
- Build and maintain pairwise correlation matrices and factor-decomposed diversification analyses across all active managers, including directly managed sleeves
- Perform look-through concentration analysis to surface true single-name, sector, geography, and thematic exposures across the entire portfolio — including positions you hold directly
Portfolio Analytics & Risk
- Decompose each manager's results by asset class, sector, and factor exposure (value, growth, size, momentum); apply the same attribution framework to your own directly managed sleeves
- Develop and maintain liquidity waterfall models under defined stress scenarios, incorporating LP lockups, directly held positions, real estate assumptions, and credit line availability
- Monitor concentration risk in real time across all sleeves — both managed externally and managed directly — and escalate when aggregate exposures exceed agreed thresholds
- Partner with the FSM operations team on cross-entity insurance and risk audits, contributing investment-side risk context
Investment Policy & Client Governance
- Draft and maintain a written Investment Policy Statement (IPS) for each client, covering return objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity requirements, constraints, and benchmark selection
- Lead quarterly investment review meetings with family principals; present performance of directly managed sleeves alongside outside manager scorecards in a unified format
- Participate in asset allocation reviews with the client's strategic advisor; provide quantitative support for allocation shift recommendations
- Translate institutional-grade analytics into direct, no-jargon deliverables that respect client sophistication without burying them in unnecessary complexity
Advisor Coordination & Governance
- Serve as FSM's primary point of contact for each client's wealth management roster, operating as an objective oversight layer above individual outside managers
- Facilitate quarterly advisor review sessions; provide written scorecard summaries to the client principal in…
