Investment Strategist (Product Specialist)
2017 - 2018
The Investment Strategy (“IS”) team supports BlueMountain’s relationships with investors by sharing insights on investment funds, strategies, specific investments and related market views. The IS team is a key contributor to increasing the non-contractual duration, or “stickiness”, of investor capital and raising new investor capital. To help investment professionals focus on their core investment responsibilities, Investment Strategists act as surrogates for PMs for most investor interactions – via direct investor interactions, shared written insights, or by equipping other IS/IRMS team members with sufficient content to discuss independently. With extensive portfolio knowledge, Investment Strategists provide better overall access to knowledge for our investors. Investment Strategists are responsible for equipping the broader IRMS team with written commentary and timely updates.
