Our goals are to achieve consistently superior longterm investment results and to provide excellent service to our clients and shareholders.

As we foster as an environment that encourages employees to achieve their fullest potential, we continue to value the highquality contributions of our people : the cornerstone of our success. The private ownership enables us to have a long-term perspective, which is particularly important in bad markets. And while the current trend is for our competitors to lay off, we do keep investing and hiring.

In addition to Research, Investment and Marketing services we also provide, through the Global Portfolio Administration Group, Operational and Administrative support to clients based in Europe, the Middle East and the Asia/Pacific region.

We are searching for enthusiastic and motivated individuals to join our service center teams. An ability to work under pressure,
both independently and in a team as well as a willingness to learn new skills and assume new responsibilities is a must. In return, we offer an interesting and varied career, an attractive compensation / benefits package and excellent opportunities for development.
