In one of the financial sector’s signature films “Trading Places,” the film’s antagonists risk everything on concentrated orange juice futures based on industry forecasting. But when the weather patterns change unexpectedly, the crop of oranges is ruined, as are the antagonists’ hopes.
Nowadays, standard market forecasting takes into account elements such as weather reports. At Southie Capital, we go one step further, cultivating a global network of contributors who help us to understand the conditions on the ground which could affect our clients’ decisions to invest. Metaphorically, when everyone else is reading the weather page, we’re talking straight to the orange farmers.
Our firm hires individuals with subject matter expertise within the information technology and tech sector, who are uniquely placed to best understand the factors and intangibles that drive investment opportunities. We will advertise part-time opportunities, on this website and on popular job hunting databases, based on the tailored investment requirements of our clients.
We think of our company as a family, and personal ties are critical to our corporate culture. As such, our account executives and Research and Analysis management make it a point to get to know all contributors personally. Accordingly, all contributor positions require a personal interview, which can be held at our office in Boston, or at various locations overseas in which we have office partnership agreements. Travel expenses for all contributor personal interviews are reimbursed at a fixed rate.
