Description :
We are looking for experienced wholesalers or internal wholesalers with strong contacts among broker/dealers, Registered Investment Advisors and financial planners that want to take charge of their careers. We seek entrepreneurs with the confidence and consultative sales skills to build a territory they will own!
Vista Research and Management (VRM) is the investment advisor to the Listed Private Equity Plus mutual fund (Ticker: LPEAX). LPEAX is the first actively managed mutual fund in the US to permit mass affluent investors to participate in the private equity and venture capital asset class. As financial advisors and broker dealers continue to focus on ways to expose their clients to less correlated alternative assets, LPEAX maintains a "first mover" advantage and is well positioned to meet the needs of the financial advisor community.
VRM presently maintains selling group agreements with dealers including but not limited to Linsco Private Ledger (LPL), RBC Dain Rauscher, Wells Fargo Wealth Management, Raymond James Financial, First Allied, Stifel Nicolaus, Charles Schwab Institutional, TD Ameritrade and Fidelity Institutional. LPEAX is currently the only available option in these networks for financial advisors seeking access to private equity for their non-accredited clients. The Fund also represents the only option for exposure to private equity in 401(k) retirement plans.

* Aggressively arrange on-site office meetings with financial advisors
* Prospect for new business telephonically
