I work in the Alternative Investments group within the Investment Management division. My group is responsible for developing alternative investment opportunities for clients who are able to take additional risk in an effort to achieve above-average rates of return. These investments may include private equity, real estate, hedge funds, exchange funds and opportunistic investments.

The part I most enjoy is the contact with our Private Wealth clients and prospects. In general these clients are intelligent, witty and engaging – they are thought leaders across industries globally and have an incredible entrepreneurial spirit. Working with them can be incredibly rewarding.

My work is very team-based. I sit on a trading desk sandwiched between two senior professionals, with all our phones ringing off the hook. Being in the middle of the fray is conducive to a collaborative environment where everyone is entitled to an opinion and everyone’s voice is heard. Additionally, all written materials (marketing materials and client presentations) are the result of an iterative process that includes numerous rounds of editing and revision by senior and junior members of the team alike.
