About First Fiduciary :

Founded in 1975, FFIC is a highly successful, independent investment advisory firm managing over $550 million. Clients include high-net-worth individuals and institutions such as financial advisors, wealth managers, corporations, non-profits, trade associations and community foundations.

The firm’s investment philosophy centers on disciplined research, a long-term perspective and a commitment to transparency and client service. FFIC operates as a small, collaborative team that values creativity, accountability and professional growth. With fewer than ten employees, the firm offers a collegial, hands‑off environment where independent thinkers thrive under high expectations.

FFIC is seeking a self-starting, seasoned investment professional committed to business development and client success to join its investment team. This role offers a unique opportunity for someone eager to manage portfolios, cultivate new relationships and enhance existing ones, and bring fresh ideas that will help guide the firm’s continued evolution and business development.

The ideal candidate will bring a proven track record of investment success, an interest in individual stock selection, and the ability to enthusiastically communicate with clients and prospects. This position is well‑suited for a professional seeking significant autonomy within a close‑knit team.

• Conduct ongoing research on new and existing investments, apply creative thinking to evaluate current holdings, and identify new opportunities that support FFIC and client goals.
• Play an active role in weekly portfolio discussions. Bring forward investment ideas, rigorously evaluate existing positions and provide thoughtful challenges to previously made assumptions.
• Identify opportunities for new investment products or strategies aligned with FFIC’s investing philosophy to enhance the firm’s growth initiatives.
• Collaborate within a small, cohesive team. Show day‑to‑day flexibility and demonstrate initiative and ownership of responsibilities.
