Fiduciary Trust International is owned by Franklin Templeton, a diversified firm that spans asset management, wealth management, and fintech, giving us many ways to help investors make progress toward their goals. With clients in over 150 countries and offices on six continents, you’ll get exposed to different cultures, people, and business development happening around the world.

Fiduciary Trust Company of Canada

Fiduciary Trust Company of Canada (“FTCC”), a nationally regulated Trust Company, and its predecessors have been successfully providing customized discretionary wealth management solutions to affluent Canadians for over 35 years. We are investment counselors and estate planning experts who help clients preserve, grow and transfer their wealth. A trusted and proven private wealth boutique, FTCC is backed by the strength and expertise of a global investment leader, Franklin Templeton, whose roots are well established in the Canadian market and date back to 1954. Since then, we have been committed to one goal: delivering exceptional asset management services to Canadian investors.

The unique combination of Investment Counseling, Investment Management and Personal Trust expertise offered by FTCC, combined with the global scale and expertise of the asset management firms that comprise Franklin Templeton Investments sets us apart from our competitors in our ability to deliver highly customized wealth management solutions to clients and their third-party advisors.

Our collective global investment teams bring specialized expertise across diverse asset classes and serve institutional, retail, and high-net-worth clients.

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.

The primary focus of this role should be concentrated in three key areas: relationship management, portfolio management and operational management (admin). The ideal candidate should possess a comprehensive understanding of our operations and be committed to contributing to the growth of our business.

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.

    • Take on increasing responsibility for smaller client relationships as experience grows, allowing PMs to focus on larger and more complex client relationships; and

Operational and Administrative Support:

  • Maintain awareness of client account activity, including systematic withdrawals, deposits, fee withdrawals, overdraft, raising cash, etc.;

    • Review account openings, analyze relevant document to begin KYC and ensure proper administration of accounts;

    • Maintain follow ups and ensure key metrics are met by PMs (minimal annual review per client, ensure updated Investment Policy Statements, etc); and

    • Collaborate with private client service associates to ensure that clients are onboarded in a smooth and seamless way.

    • Incorporate Investment Strategy Committee (“ISC”) views in portfolios and ensure compliance with their respective targets and current tactical asset allocation;

    • Review accounts, suggest appropriate actions to uphold asset allocation and ISC views;

    • Develop and maintain deep understanding of investment products and strategies;

    • Understand different account types (RRSP, TFSA, Corp, LIRA, etc);

    • Assist in the development and implementation of Investment Policy Statements and Investment Proposals for new and existing clients;

    • Liaise with Performance department and portfolio administrators to ensure portfolios are properly set up for performance measurement, including benchmarks and composites;

    • Prepare presentations for proposal and client review meetings. Understand concepts that the PM wants to present to clients and proactively adjust the presentations accordingly; and

Description de l'emploi

Société Fiduciary Trust du Canada

Depuis plus de 35 ans, la Société Fiduciary Trust du Canada (« SFTC »), une société fiduciaire réglementée au niveau national, et ses prédécesseurs fournissent avec succès des solutions de gestion de patrimoine discrétionnaires et personnalisées aux Canadiens aisés. Conseillers en placements et spécialistes de la planification successorale, nous aidons nos clients à préserver, faire croître et transmettre leur patrimoine. Fiable et reconnue, SFTC est une entreprise spécialisée de services de placements privés qui s’appuie sur la solidité et l’expertise de Franklin Templeton, chef de file mondial des placements bien établi dans le marché canadien et fondé en 1954. Depuis, nous nous sommes engagées vers un même but : offrir aux investisseurs canadiens des services de gestion d’actifs exceptionnels.

La combinaison unique du conseil en investissement, de la gestion d'investissement et de l'expertise en matière de fiducie personnelle offerte par la CCFT, associée à l'échelle mondiale et à l'expertise des sociétés de gestion d'actifs qui composent Franklin Templeton Investments, nous distingue de nos concurrents par notre capacité à fournir des solutions de gestion de patrimoine hautement personnalisées aux clients et à leurs conseillers tiers.

Nos équipes de gestion de placement mondiales mettent leurs connaissances spécialisées sur diverses catégories d’actifs au service des clients institutionnels, du marché de détail et à valeur nette élevée.

Le rôle

La CCFT recrute un gestionnaire de portefeuille adjoint (" GPA " ) axé sur le client pour rejoindre notre équipe de gestion de patrimoine privée, qui est responsable de la prestation de services de conseil en investissement aux investisseurs et institutions canadiens.

Cette fonction doit se concentrer sur trois domaines clés : la gestion des relations, la gestion du portefeuille et la gestion opérationnelle (administration). Le candidat idéal doit posséder une connaissance approfondie de nos activités et s'engager à contribuer à la croissance de notre entreprise.

Initiative et responsabilité : L'APM doit prendre en charge de manière proactive des tâches visant à alléger la charge de travail du gestionnaire de portefeuille, ce qui lui permet de se concentrer sur les interactions avec les clients et le développement des affaires. Nous recherchons un collaborateur qui ne se contente pas de manipuler des données dans ses tâches quotidiennes, mais qui comprend les concepts sous-jacents. Un collaborateur compétent identifiera et traitera de manière indépendante les erreurs potentielles et les divergences de données.

Passion et connaissance: Dans le prolongement du point précédent, un collaborateur passionné et bien informé s'interrogera sur la raison d'être des tâches plutôt que de les accomplir et de les transmettre simplement à la personne suivante dans la file d'attente. Cette personne doit être proactive dans l'identification et la résolution des problèmes, en encourageant une culture d'amélioration continue.

Gestion des petits comptes : Nous devrions nous efforcer d'engager un associé capable de gérer des comptes plus petits sous la direction du gestionnaire de portefeuille principal. Cette personne serait très utile pour servir des clients plus jeunes et/ou les enfants de clients existants qui pourraient ne pas répondre à nos exigences minimales. L'associé peut s'occuper efficacement de ces clients par le biais d'interactions virtuelles exclusivement.

En résumé, le poste d'APM nécessite une personne qui maîtrise non seulement les aspects techniques de la gestion de portefeuille, mais qui est également animée d'une véritable passion pour les marchés financiers et d'une approche proactive de la résolution des problèmes. Cette approche garantira que le collaborateur contribue activement au succès et à l'intégrité de nos opérations.

  • Faire connaître les capacités des entreprises et contribuer aux opportunités de développement commercial et aux événements.

Soutien opérationnel et administratif :
