• Attend team meetings and assist with follow-ups – providing reports and/or meeting minutes
• Contribute to process improvement projects and help identify opportunities to enhance efficiency
• Assist with ad hoc requests for special projects and prospect/client related inquiries
• Participate and engage with weekly professional development workshops and investment professionals from across the firm
