Specialty Finance Senior Associate

Neuberger was founded in 1939 to do one thing: deliver compelling investment results for our clients over the long term.

As a private, independent, employee-owned investment manager, Neuberger is structurally aligned with the long-term interests of our clients. We have no external parent or public shareholders to serve, nor other lines of business to distract us from our core mission, and with our employees and their families invested alongside our clients - plus 100% of employee deferred cash compensation directly linked to team and firm strategies - we are truly in this together.

From offices in 40 cities worldwide, Neuberger manages a range of equity, fixed income, private equity and hedge fund strategies on behalf of institutions, advisors and individual investors worldwide. With more than 700 investment professionals and more than 2,900 employees in total, Neuberger has built a diverse team of individuals united in their commitment to client outcomes and investment excellence. Our culture has afforded us enviable retention rates among our senior investment staff and has earned us citations in the top-ranked firms (among those with 1,000 or more employees) in the Pensions & Investments “Best Places to Work in Money Management” survey each year since 2013.
