Employment Opportunities

“Do your homework, find the facts;
then make decisions based on the facts”

What we are looking for

Passion
You must live and breathe the market. Investing is more than just a job to you. You are driven by it, but also find it fun. You are a voracious reader and are addicted to learning.
Skepticism
We believe in a healthy dose of open-minded skepticism and you should too. You must be able to change your mind and flex into new realities. You must enjoy poking holes in arguments, and you must stay enthused when your arguments are prodded.
Radical Honesty
Working in a small office requires the utmost honesty in every facet of the business. If you have any tendency towards bending the truth, no matter how small, you need not apply.
Critical Thinking
You possess critical thinking skills and a high degree of logic. You make decisions based on facts, not feelings.
Financial Acumen
You may have taken financial courses, but we don’t find it necessary for research related roles. We value passionate personal learning more than any certification or degree. With that said, you must have a good understanding of financial statements and how they work and interact with one another.
