JOB DESCRIPTION

Job:  Assistant Portfolio Manager

Schedule:  Full-time

Location:  Willowbrook, IL — FIZYX Office

About FIZYX Investment Group

FIZYX Investment Group is an investment management firm focusing on the discovery of exponential-growth stocks ahead of market consensus. The firm is led by Joel Klein, an industry veteran with two decades of experience in the equities markets. He believes that the firm’s two defining characteristics are our investor-oriented culture and the advanced capabilities of our analytical technology.

Joel and Kayla Klein co-founded FIZYX in 2016 with the goal of producing a level of investment return that would help individuals and families achieve long-term financial security and optimize the many facets of their lives. The key to achieving this overarching goal has been our advanced Exponential Pattern Recognition (XPR) Technical Analysis. The development of this technology is based on Joel’s more than 10,000 hours of stock market and economic research and his painstaking analysis of stock market performance patterns going back to 1900.

Many positive results flow from our client-first ethos. Number one is our culture of heightened transparency. The second is our ethical financial stewardship, which rather than being oriented around the profit of the asset manager, is based on the precise application of rules that address the real risks and rewards of stock investing and optimize performance. This, plus operational excellence, has led to exceptional profits for both clients and firm.

Despite our formidable record of investment returns, we continue to value our learning process as strongly as ever. We keep moving forward, sometimes quickly, sometimes after stumbling. But whatever the obstacles or challenges, we persist in improving our effectiveness, leadership, and stewardship.

We believe that our mission of achieving consistently superior returns offers a unique opportunity for our clients.  However, it also offers benefits to our team members that are difficult to attain elsewhere—the opportunity for superior long-term financial returns coupled with the potential to achieve great things in your career.  The tools and technologies we develop together may possibly benefit all investors everywhere.
