Montréal QC, Canada Franklin Templeton Investments Full time

The Role

FTCC is recruiting for a client focused Associate Portfolio Manager (“APM”) to join our private wealth team, which is responsible for the delivery of investment counseling services to Canadian investors and institutions.
- Initiative and Accountability:_ The APM should proactively take on tasks to alleviate the Portfolio Manager's workload, allowing them to focus on client interactions and business development. We seek an associate who not only handles data in their daily tasks but comprehends the underlying concepts. A knowledgeable associate will independently identify and address potential errors and data discrepancies.
- Passion and Knowledge_: Building on the previous point, a passionate and knowledgeable associate will inquire about the reasoning behind tasks rather than doing their assignment and simply passing them along to the next person in line. This individual should be proactive in identifying and addressing issues, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
- Small Accounts Management:_ We should aim to engage an associate eventually capable of handling smaller accounts under the lead Portfolio Manager. This individual would be valuable in servicing younger clients and/or children of existing clients who may not meet our minimum requirements. The associate can effectively cater to these clients through virtual interactions exclusively.

In summary, the APM role necessitates an individual who is not only proficient in the technical aspects of portfolio management but is also driven by a genuine passion for the financial markets and a proactive approach to problem-solving. This approach will ensure that the associate actively contributes to the success and integrity of our operations.
