Job description

Chief Investment Officer – Single Family Office, London

Our client is a Single Family Office looking to add a senior member of staff within their established entity in London. The position will report to the CEO and include direct access to the Principals.

The family office holds an Absolute Return philosophy and invests across all asset classes, with a bias toward the US and Asia. A significant portion of the portfolio is invested in Private Equity, mainly via Funds and Joint Ventures.

Public Market investments – Bonds and Equities – are generally on a direct basis and there is also a strategic investment in Real Estate and hotels.

This is a demanding role, requiring both flexibility and full-time commitment. It will be based in the London office five days a week, with travel as required.

The role does not offer a hybrid working practice but allows working from home if circumstances make it necessary on occasion.

To be successful in this role, you will likely be in a CIO or senior investment role within a Family office, with extensive experience in strategic asset allocation across multi-asset classes and especially Private Equity.

You will have a full understanding of all aspects of investments, including classical traditional liquid asset classes and alternative investments like private equity and hedge funds. You will be capable of managing proprietary investments and all aspects of asset allocation and manager selection, and be confident in leading the family through all stages of investments.

The ideal candidate must have proven team leadership experience. The family is engaged and actively involved in the business, and the role will also involve liaising with external stakeholders critical to the business.

Having a technical understanding is important, but personal and cultural fit is of equal value to the family.

Key Responsibilities:
The successful applicant will be required to:

• Oversight of the diverse investment portfolio.
• Manage the expansion of investments in both public, private, and alternative markets.
• Arrange and undertake due diligence on potential investments.
• Prepare and present financial proposals to the family.
• Explore new business opportunities for the group.
• Lead and have oversight of the Asset Allocation process.
• Lead and have oversight of the Manager Selection Process.

Qualifications/Experience:

• An applicant will have to show a steady career progression.
• The applicant must have experience in managing public and/or private equity portfolios.
• The successful candidate will have extensive experience in the investment or financial industry, with a strong preference for experience in a family office or dealing with HNW individuals.
• Finally, the successful applicant will have the flexibility to undertake a variety of duties and additional responsibilities as necessary.

Please note that given the high level of interest in this role, we will not be able to reply to all correspondents and will only come back to the best-qualified applicants for the role.

Remuneration will be commensurate with the duties and demands of the role and the experience of the candidate. If you would like to find out more about the role, please send a copy of your latest CV to [e-mail].
