Investment Manager​/Investment Director

We are partnered with a well-established Wealth Management firm with an AUM in excess of £20bn. The business is now going through a stage of growth and they're looking to hire in their Manchester office.

There is an opportunity to inherit a small book of business but the focus is on hiring someone who can build a client base and develop new business.

The Investment Manager/Director will be responsible for hosting client meetings, ensuring that the firm acts honestly, fairly, professionally and in the client's best interest at all times. The successful candidate will be familiar with financial markets and will manage discretionary portfolios in line with clients' risk profiles and investment objectives. Any Investment Manager at the firm must also be fully aware of, and adhere to, the firm's compliance obligations and current and future FCA regulatory requirements.
