Overview
Newton is a global investment management firm owned by BNY Mellon, with offices in London, New York, Boston and San Francisco and has expertise in a range of disciplines, including global, regional and emerging-market equities, multi-asset strategies, absolute return investing and global bonds. A global, thematic approach to investment helps them achieve long-term perspective on global financial markets and economies and identify areas of long-term risk and opportunity. Our belief is that responsible investment is better investment for clients, and we consider ESG (environmental, social and governance) issues in relation to every company in which we invest. Our purpose is to improve people's lives through active, thematic and engaged investment which strives to deliver attractive outcomes to our clients and helps foster a healthy and vibrant world for all.
Newton focuses on four key areas:
  • Active Equities - Conviction based, including global equity, small-cap, regional and thematic capabilities
  • Income - Equity, fixed income and multi-asset
  • Absolute Return - Fixed-income and multi asset
  • Multi-Asset Solutions - Systemic, outcome-orientated, relative balanced, bespoke and building blocks
Newton provides discretionary and non-discretionary investment advice to institutional clients, including US and global pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, central banks, endowments, foundations, insurance companies, registered mutual funds, other pooled investment vehicles and other institutions, and, via BNY Mellon, to individuals.
Job Purpose
The main aspects of the role are twofold - (i) supporting the business development team in all aspects of new business procurement (both sourced from intermediaries and also directly), and (ii) ensuring an efficient and professional support service to the business development and consultant relations team.
