Build Your Trading Career at a Firm Where Your Voice Matters

Premier Midtown-based Registered Investment Advisor managing over $35 billion in assets for high-net-worth individuals and families is seeking a driven and intellectually curious Fixed Income Trader to join its collaborative investment team. With more than six decades of success, this privately held firm combines institutional-caliber resources with the agility, accessibility, and long-term vision of an independent organization.

This is an exceptional opportunity for an emerging fixed income professional to deepen market expertise, gain direct exposure to portfolio strategy, and work alongside experienced Portfolio Managers, Analysts, and Traders in a highly visible role.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Accelerated Career Growth: Gain hands-on exposure to portfolio construction, trading strategy, and investment decision-making within a sophisticated buy-side environment.
• Direct Access to Leadership: Work closely with senior traders and Portfolio Managers who are invested in mentorship and development.
• Market Visibility: Contribute to the firm’s investment process by providing actionable market intelligence and trade insights.
• Institutional Stability + Entrepreneurial Culture: Join a respected firm with deep client relationships, strong performance history, and a collaborative culture that values initiative and fresh ideas.
• Meaningful Impact: Your contributions will directly influence portfolio outcomes and the client experience across customized fixed-income strategies.

What You’ll Do

• Execute trades across fixed income and related securities
• Partner with Portfolio Managers and the Head Fixed Income Trader to source attractive bond opportunities within targeted credit parameters
• Assist in the management and implementation of customized fixed income portfolios
• Build and maintain strong relationships with broker-dealers and sell-side trading desks
• Monitor market activity, significant holdings, and sector developments impacting portfolio positioning
• Deliver timely market color, trading commentary, and investment intelligence to internal stakeholders
• Reconcile trade blotters and ensure accurate trade reporting
• Support portfolio management and trading systems, including maintaining customized rules and workflows
• Collaborate closely with Compliance to ensure adherence to FINRA and MSRB regulations
• Provide cross-functional support to trading and operations teammates as needed

What They’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, or a related discipline
• Active Series 7, 66 (or 63&65), and 52 licenses required
• 1–2 years of fixed income trading experience on the buy-side or sell-side
• Municipal bond trading experience strongly preferred
• Experience using multiple fixed income trading platforms
• Strong analytical, communication, and relationship-management skills
• Exceptional attention to detail and ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a collaborative, team-oriented approach
