About Stamos Capital Partners and the Partner Capital Group
Stamos Capital Partners, L.P. (“SCP” or the “Firm”) is an independent, privately owned investment management firm with more than $7.6 billion in assets under management. Our primary mission is to serve high-net-worth individuals, family offices, private foundations, endowments, trusts, and other clients that share the Firm’s core values. We seek to preserve and build wealth for our clients and investors through sophisticated, multi-asset class investment solutions on a global basis.

The Partner Capital Group (“PCG”) is the firm's wealth management group: a focused internal team that treats each of our investment families or endowments as a “partner”, offering institutional‑quality solutions, public‑ and private‑market access on a global basis, and integrated planning.

As a member of the Firm’s PCG team, you will play an active role in (a) understanding the objectives of our investment partners, (b) communicating the Firm’s macroeconomic and asset allocation views, (c) assisting in developing wealth management and investment strategies based on these views and objectives, and (d) communicating the performance of these strategies relative to these objectives.

The Role:

Your role is to serve as the day‑to‑day lead contact with and advisor for a core group of the Firm’s investment partners.

Embrace and Lead. Serve as the key, day‑to‑day point person for a set of the Firm’s investment partners (10-15), coordinating and providing them with access to the Firm’s investment and planning solutions. Lead or coordinate planning and review meetings and, on behalf of our investment partners, translate the investment and planning decisions into user‑friendly language and concrete action steps.

Coordinate Advisors. Work directly with our investment partners’ accountants and tax advisors, estate attorneys, trustees, and insurance professionals on wealth transfer, trust funding, division of assets, tax, and risk management strategies.

Guide Transitions. Help families prepare for and work through significant life events, such as business sales or exits, retirement, inheritance, divorce, and the death of a family member. Anticipate life changes and proactively adjust their plans to keep their financial and legacy goals on track.

Partner on Portfolios. Work with the team’s Managing Partners and Portfolio Managers on asset allocation, liquidity needs, concentrated stock diversification, and suitability (including sizing) for private‑market investments.

Educate. Deliver financial education to clients and their next generation of beneficiaries or managers. Contribute to PCG client meetings and events.

Own the Details. Keep CRM, planning software, and compliance records accurate; meet all fiduciary and regulatory obligations as an investment adviser representative. From an investment partner and Firm perspective, make sure that “nothing slips through the cracks”.
