Commitment
to Quality

“At SFM, I’ve been empowered to learn, grow, and stretch my abilities in ways I never expected. I started in tech project management, transitioning into Compliance when our London office needed Compliance coverage – an unfamiliar area – I was entrusted with the role instead of the firm seeking external support. It was a challenge that pushed me beyond my comfort zone, broadening my expertise and proving that growth happens where opportunity meets trust.”

“SFM is a place where smart and curious people do well and love to work: there is a real culture of sharing expertise and insight which makes already smart people smarter and with a broader worldview. It is extremely flat, flexible, and questioning as an investment culture: good analysis and ideas are the bedrock of the firm, whether they come from a newly recruited analyst or the longest tenured portfolio manager. When you combine those traits with the quality long-duration and flexible capital base that the Open Society Foundation provides it makes SFM an excellent place to have a rewarding career.”
