Financial Advisor - for a Bay Area Investment Firm

Financial Advisor (FA)

Golub Group – San Mateo CA

Golub Group was organized as an independent investment advisory firm in 2003. We serve the investment needs of families, individuals, foundations, and endowments, as well as business-owners seeking advice with their pension and profit-sharing plans. Our clients receive institutional-grade investment management and comprehensive advice with respect to their financial futures. The firm also serves as the manager of separate accounts for other independent financial advisors and a no-load equity mutual fund.

With over $1.5 billion in assets under management, the firm is large enough to possess highly-sophisticated systems, have access to a wide range of institutional research tools and services, and employ the highest-caliber professional talent, but is small enough to maintain the culture of a boutique investment firm.

Join an acclaimed and collegial, 35-person firm that helps families thrive through the unique set of financial opportunities and challenges posed by life in the Bay Area. Golub Group combines comprehensive financial planning and institutional-grade investment management to secure better futures for our clients.
