The Parkwood Investment Department is a team of peers with a common goal: to find, partner with, and learn from the best investors around the world in order to allocate Parkwood’s capital to the most compelling public and private investment opportunities. Much of our assets are invested with outside managers with expertise in their respective areas. The balance of the portfolio is managed internally. We invest globally across a variety of strategies including public equity, hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, real estate, and natural resources.

Parkwood has a stable asset base and a long-term investment horizon, which allows us to take advantage of the returns available from attractive, but less liquid investments.

As a member of our investment team, you will spend your time analyzing, engaging with, and learning from the most elite investors in the world across all asset classes. This provides a unique opportunity to see a broad array of investment ideas while also going in-depth on individual investment opportunities including private equity co-investments and other idiosyncratic opportunities. All members of the investment team are expected to develop and express independent opinions, regardless of experience or tenure.

You will join a high-performance culture that strives to compete and win as a team, by providing strong investment returns to support Parkwood’s clients. This includes a focus on asking the right questions and getting to the best answer, regardless of individual agendas. The investment team embraces continual learning and self-reflection in pursuit of ongoing improvement.
