FAST GROWING INVESTMENT FIRM SEEKS JUNIOR TRADER recruitment

We are a boutique, rapidly growing value-oriented SEC-registered investment management firm based on the north shore of Long Island (30 miles from NYC, from which two of our executives commute).  Our clients include high net worth and institutional investors.  We are seeking to hire someone whose primary job function will be to execute trades on behalf of our CIO, but the job scope will increase commensurate with the candidate’s intelligence level and capabilities.  Since we are long-term investors and do not trade too actively, we would like this person assume responsibilities beyond that of a typical trader, including some general operations work.  We work as a team here, so everyone does everything as their skill sets allow, so if you are capable, you can seek out new investment ideas, assist with marketing, etc.  As a trader, you should understand and have experience trading both illiquid and liquid securities, and foreign trading experience is a plus.  Experience with Pershing’s NetX 360 system and/or Advent Software also a plus, but not required.  The starting salary for this job is $75,000 plus health and dental benefits which will kick in after a 3 month trial period during which time we will confirm that you aren't a moron.  The average age of our partners is 40, so we’re going to be around for a long time and are looking for someone who is seeking a long-term position.  We pride ourselves on creating a fun, enjoyable workplace, so if you don’t have a sense of humor, please don’t apply.
