Subject: Very attractive Financial Analyst positions for UCLA students and grads

Portola Partners, a large*, independent wealth-management firm, welcomes seniors, non-MBA master’s degree candidates, or recent UCLA graduates to apply for very attractive Financial Analyst positions based in Silicon Valley (Menlo Park) for a July 2021 start.  Please feel free to share this information with UCLA friends who might be interested.

Students may learn more by visiting us online at www.portolapartnersllc.com.  We will conduct first round video interviews on October 13th.  This position is posted on Handshake, and we invite students to submit resumes and interview materials prior to October 4th. 


Portola Partners provides sophisticated investment advice and integrated comprehensive planning to respected families, foundations, and endowments, many of whom have made significant contributions to the world.  Our business model allows us to do what is right for our clients.  Careful to minimize conflicts of interest with our clients, we neither sell products nor receive commissions. We grow through word-of-mouth referrals; no one on our team engages in any cold-calling activities. 

We welcome candidates who wish to join a close-knit team with a high degree of camaraderie, collaboration, mentorship, and professional standards.  We give substantial early responsibility and client contact to Financial Analysts.  We provide many opportunities for learning, enrichment, and career development.  We are committed to a healthy work-life balance, and our Financial Analysts work significantly fewer hours than analysts in comparable positions.  Nevertheless, compensation is highly competitive with top-tier banks and consulting firms.  Our team’s past Financial Analysts have a compelling track record of gaining admission to top-tier business schools.

We hope to hire truly great team players who have the potential to become partners in our organization in the future.  We seek colleagues who are highly ethical, empathetic, team-oriented, analytical, motivated, and intellectually curious.  Ideal candidates will possess great interpersonal skills, excellent judgment, broad problem-solving skills, and a professional, service-oriented demeanor.

Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Summer Analyst Recruitment

View flyer here: GSAM QIS Clietn Portfolio Management

The Quantitative Investment Strategies group at Goldman Sachs is looking for current juniors to apply for a summer analyst position within our client-facing team at our NYC headquarters. This team offers a great opportunity for those who have a passion for quantitative, analytical or programming challenges, but also want to be client-facing and gain a deep understanding of investing with a quantitative methodology.

To give you an idea of our work, I split my time approximately evenly between the following three areas: programming (primarily data analytics and visualization, along with systems for analyzing investment portfolios), prepping for and meeting with our clients (both prospective and existing, some typical finance analyst work in Powerpoint/Excels), and producing analysis and research on our quantitative strategies. However, our team has many diverse skillsets and members will spend different amounts of time on various aspects of the role depending on their unique strengths. I’ve included further information on the team in the attached document.

If this sounds interesting to you, please send your resume as well as a brief description on why you think this role is appealing to Matthijs Dijkgraaf (Matthijs.Dijkgraaf@gs.com) and copy me (Natalie.kennelley@gs.com). We are open to a broad variety of backgrounds and previous work experiences, so do not feel discouraged if you do not have a finance background. Members of our team have come from many academic backgrounds including math, physics, chemical, computer and mechanical engineering as well as math-track economics and computer science. 

Best,
Natalie
