A boutique, established investment management firm in Johannesburg is looking for an experienced Administrative Assistant to support its investment team with broker instruction processing and segregated mandate portfolio administration.
What Success Looks Like
- Turn the investment team's and clients' instructions into accurate broker instructions, tracked through to execution and settlement on the JSE
- Administer segregated (individually managed) client portfolios end to end - onboarding and KYC/FICA, withdrawals and deposits, and dividend or corporate-action tracking
- Support compliance meetings and prepare portfolio performance and compliance reports
- Act as the day-to-day link between clients, the investment team and the broker/custodian
- Operate independently across a small, senior investment team, prioritising your own workload without close supervision
The Right Fit
- 4-5+ years' administrative experience gained at a stockbroker, a boutique or private-client investment/wealth manager, or a similar broker/JSE-facing back-office environment
- Direct experience with broker instruction processing, trade settlement tracking and portfolio or account administration - segregated mandate experience preferred but not required
- Familiarity with how broker instructions are processed and settled on the JSE (for example via the BDA - Broker Dealing Account - system)
- Diploma or degree in Business Administration or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience in its place
- Comfortable operating independently in a small, senior team, without close supervision
The Package
R 30 000 - R40,000 TCTC per month, excluding annual incentive bonus, negotiable depending on candidate skills and experience
