Analyst, Portfolio Management Group

About the job
ROLE: Analyst, Portfolio Management Group (PMG)
LOCATION: New York or San Francisco
START DATE: Summer 2025
REPORTING TO: Managing Director, Portfolio Management Group
Hall Capital Partners is an independent, privately owned investment advisor and Outsourced Chief Investment Office that builds and manages multi-asset class global investment portfolios for families, endowments, and foundations. Our clients have made extraordinary contributions to business, philanthropy, government, academia, and society, and our investment activities enable our clients to continue these contributions. As of March 31, 2024, we direct more than $45 billion of investment assets for our clients and a platform of pooled vehicle investors. Founded in 1994, our approximately 185 employees operate from offices in San Francisco and New York.
We seek Portfolio Management Group Analysts in our New York and San Francisco offices. These are 2-year, entry-level analyst positions with the potential for top-performing analysts to expand and extend their engagements for up to an additional 3 years in the Associate position.
DESCRIPTION OF ROLE:
In the Portfolio Management Group (PMG) at Hall Capital, we work on teams to manage investment portfolios for high net worth families and institutions. Each team is structured to have one or two portfolio managers (PMs) who determine investment strategy and manager selection. The analysts and associates work alongside the PMs to produce performance reports and presentations, provide exceptional client service and assist with building client portfolios.
In your work, you will learn about the financial markets, asset allocation, portfolio construction and various investment managers across a wide range of asset classes, including cash, fixed income, equities, hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, and real assets. You also could participate in special projects, such as asset class deep dives, portfolio reviews, and spending analyses. In addition, you may help to coordinate complex estate-planning transactions such as transfers of interest, partnership distributions, and charitable gifting. You will also learn to manage risk across client relationships by closely adhering to firm and regulatory policy, procedures, and processes.
You will work with a small number of clients and provide high quality client service, with frequent interactions with clients, family office staff, tax advisers and investment managers. Analysts are an integral part of the team and could join both internal investment meetings as well as client meetings.
Analysts typically spend their days completing independent work for clients, primarily using Excel and PowerPoint, as well as other software programs including Addepar and Salesforce. We will provide training on these programs, but a working knowledge is always a great start. Most importantly, we are looking for smart and dedicated team players who are eager to learn and contribute.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE:
Within your first 30 days, you will participate in a robust training program to learn more about the firm, Hall Capital’s investing strategy and reporting systems, and join your client teams.
Within your first 90 days, you will assist your teams with portfolio reporting, financial analyses and producing client presentations. You will work closely with our Data Operations team on data review, and work with our Investment Operations team to facilitate the execution of transactions for your clients, while providing outstanding client service.
Within your first year, you will have completed several quarterly cycles of portfolio reporting and presentations, built meaningful relationships with your client teams and portfolio managers, and have had the opportunity to be involved in several firm-enhancing initiatives, from our various committees to recruiting, training, and mentorship.
