The Opportunity:

The Trading department at Fisher Investments is where the 260+ models the IPC manage meet the rest of the investment universe. We enthusiastically pursue best execution in micro-to-mega capitalization securities in countries from Vietnam and Kenya to the U.S. and other global developed markets. The decisions our traders make, as directed by the IPC, directly impact clients' portfolios across all strategies.

Trading's mission is simple: seek best execution on all trades within the objectives of the IPC. While this goal may appear straightforward at first glance; with clients spread across multiple custodians, countries, and departments; the behind-the-scenes trading architecture is vast and complex. As such, those historically hired into Trading have possessed proven track records of success. In the FIL IE Trader role, you will be challenged to learn the intricacies of capital markets, as well as how to trade all asset classes including stocks, ETFs, bonds, and currencies. You will also gain technical skills by using a variety of IT systems specific to Trading. Our trading team in Europe is expanding to accommodate increased and more complex order volume, and our traders are playing an important role in helping shape the future of the group to handle this growth.

The Day-to-Day:

• Execute trades in all asset classes across global markets, tailoring execution strategy to market conditions and trade objectives
• Be responsible for trade allocation and trade matching
• Establish and maintain relationships with custodian and broker counterparties
• Contribute to initiatives that support the trading desk's expansion to accommodate increasing order volume
• Work across other PMG teams
• Use technical skills within platforms such as Charles River, Bloomberg, and Excel
• Gain advanced finance and capital markets education through our mentoring program

Your Qualifications:

• Demonstrate a high degree of intellectual curiosity, especially in relation to capital markets.
• Can rapidly learn new technology, processes, and workflows.
• Enjoy working with both internal teams and external business partners.
• Have a desire to understand the operational minutiae of FI's portfolio management process.
• Exhibit exceptionally high attention to detail and a constant awareness of risk.
• Can manage complex, ambiguous situations.
• Are fluent in English; Proficiency in other European languages is beneficial
• Can communicate complex ideas in a clear and concise manner

We will conduct a preliminary screen of applicants based on qualifications, performance and manager feedback. Those who meet the hiring manager’s requirements will be moved forward in the process by participating in an interview.
