We’re more than investors — we’re innovators. We challenge traditional investment mindsets, constantly pushing the boundaries to achieve our mission: To bring greater certainty to investors.

These aren’t just words—they define how we think, how we invest, and how we work. 

Now, we’re entering our next chapter. We’re transforming our brand and reshaping the way the world invests. If you think alternatively, embrace an entrepreneurial spirit, and thrive in a dynamic, bureaucracy-free environment, join us and be part of what’s next.

• Support the successful rollout of new dealer relationships, product approvals, and strategic initiatives at the advisor level.

• Partner with Marketing, Product, and Portfolio Management to translate firm initiatives into compelling advisor engagement.


• Provide regular insights to senior leadership on MFDA trends, advisor sentiment, and competitive dynamics.

Thought Leadership & Representation

• Represent PICTON at MFDA‑focused industry events, dealer conferences, and advisor forums.


• Act as a knowledgeable ambassador for PICTON’s investment philosophy, portfolio construction approach, and differentiated strategies.


• Contribute to PICTON’s reputation as a credible, education‑driven partner within the MFDA channel.
