- Please fill out the required fields, and attach a Resume and Cover Letter. Why a Cover Letter? We receive a high volume of applicants, and we have real humans that read each and every resume. We encourage you to use creativity in your cover letter and speak directly to why you want to join our team!
- We will review your resume in as timely a manner as we are able to, so kindly refrain from reaching out to hiring manager or other Opto team members via email or linkedin, as this won't improve or fast track your application
Our take
For investment advisors looking to put together strong portfolios for clients, private investments represent a vast and attractive section of the market. However, these assets remain underused, with advisors having on average only 0-4% of their wealth invested in them, due in part to restricted access and lack of appropriate resources. Opto Investments enables Registered Investment Advisors to “level up” their practices, by providing access and insight into the private investment market.
Traditionally, access to private investments has been restricted to those with large teams of specialists who are able to assess the market and fill out the too-often convoluted paperwork. Opto Investment supplies a platform which combines these processes, allowing RIAs to explore the private market landscape and turn insights into actionable investments. The process is managed from start to finish, incorporating client goals throughout, with the company leading advisors from sourcing and diligence to investor servicing and reporting.
Opto Investments has already partnered with over 80 Registered Investment Advisors, and it has raised huge amounts of funding. With recent new launches and strategic partnerships secured, Opto is ready to transform how advisors approach private investments.
