Description

| Private Banking
A leading private bank in Asia is looking for an experienced Portfolio Strategist to join its Investment Advisory team - a high-visibility role sitting between the Chief Investment Office and the client-facing advisory teams.

If you enjoy turning house views and macro calls into portfolios that actually work for real clients - not just slides - this could be your next move.
The Role
You'll act as the investment partner to a team of Senior Client Advisors, translating the bank's CIO views and market outlook into portfolio recommendations for High-Net-Worth and Ultra-High-Net-Worth clients. Expect a genuine mix of markets thinking, portfolio construction, and client-facing advisory work - this isn't a back-office research seat.
What You'll Be Doing
Portfolio Advisory & Construction

• Build and tailor investment portfolios around each client's goals, time horizon, liquidity needs, and risk appetite
• Shape strategic and tactical asset allocation across equities, fixed income, alternatives, structured products, and multi-asset strategies
• Review portfolios regularly to sharpen diversification, risk-adjusted returns, and overall positioning
• Flag rebalancing opportunities as markets shift

Strategy & Market Insight

• Translate the CIO's house views and macro outlook into language clients and advisors can act on
• Track global markets, economic data, and geopolitical developments for portfolio impact
• Contribute investment commentary and tactical ideas for client conversations

Client-Facing Work

• Join client meetings alongside Senior Client Advisors to walk through strategy and portfolio recommendations
• Build genuine credibility with sophisticated HNW/UHNW clients
• Make complex investment concepts land clearly and persuasively
• Support new client acquisition through differentiated, credible advice

Collaboration

• Work closely with Senior Client Advisors, Product Specialists, Investment Advisors, Treasury, and Capital Markets on bespoke solutions
• Contribute to internal knowledge-sharing and training on markets and investment strategy

Risk & Governance

• Keep recommendations aligned with regulatory requirements, internal policy, and suitability standards
• Monitor concentration risk and allocation drift
• Maintain a clean audit trail of investment rationale

What We're Looking For

• 5-10+ years in private banking, wealth management, institutional asset management, investment advisory, or portfolio management
• Solid grounding in global markets and investment products, ideally with direct HNW/UHNW client exposure
• A track record of building and articulating investment strategy, not just executing it
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Business, Accounting, Mathematics, or similar; a Master's/MBA is a plus
• CFA, CAIA, CFP, or FRM preferred
• Comfortable with Bloomberg, FactSet, Morningstar, or similar platforms
• Sharp analytical instincts paired with strong presentation skills, commercial drive, and high personal integrity
