Investment Strategist​/Investment Director

Investment Strategist / Investment Director

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. 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.

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.

This is a senior, hands-on role. You bring enough experience to sit with advisors and clients, enough judgment to build and implement portfolios, and enough humility to do the detailed work required to execute correctly. 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.
• Own the day-to-day investment operating rhythm for client portfolios, including proposal workflow, portfolio reviews, trade and rebalance coordination, manager implementation, liquidity windows, and follow-through with advisors, operations, and compliance.
• 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.

• Develop and maintain Vectis portfolio construction frameworks, model allocations, manager rosters, rebalancing guidelines, and house-view strategy work for the RIA/MFO client base.
• 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.
• Help shape the investment strategy agenda for the MFO side: approved managers, research priorities, asset allocation views, client implementation playbooks, and advisor education.

• Prepare and oversee client portfolio trade lists, rebalances, subscriptions, redemptions, and implementation instructions in coordination with advisors, operations, and compliance.
• Ensure trades and portfolio changes reflect approved recommendations, client constraints, liquidity windows, cash needs, and operational deadlines.

• Source prospective investment managers across marketable and private fund strategies for both Vectis client portfolios and Equi funds/white-label products.
• Lead strategy due diligence, operational diligence, background-check coordination, legal/offering document term review, portfolio-fit assessment, and investment committee memo preparation.
• Maintain strong manager relationships while preserving fiduciary skepticism and negotiating for transparency, capacity, liquidity, and structuring flexibility where relevant.

• Present manager recommendations, portfolio construction views, and monitoring updates to the investment committee with clear recommendation logic and risk framing.
• Run ongoing monitoring for approved managers, including performance, exposures, attribution,…
