-
Why:_
People spend the majority of their waking hours during the most productive years of their lives in a work environment.
It follows the decision of who you will work with and what you will be doing as one of the most important decisions you will make in life.
Why choose one place of employment over another? At Durum, when we are asked "why" we are here, it is that we choose to spend our lives with people we respect and admire - brilliant people doing wonderful things.
-What:_
As an asset manager participating in both private and public markets, we are unique in that we truly have limitless possibility and can do almost anything, but not everything.
At our core, we are essentially a brain trust focused on optimizing human potential to build, own, and operate a diversified portfolio of businesses that enrich humanity.
-How:_
Given our scope, we aspire to have a team who will truly engage in passionate original thought.
This is the creation of a multitude of possibilities and alternatives that are challenged and ranked in collaboration with our partners.
Ultimately, we need choice, which then leads to decisive considerate action. While this intellectual sparring may be overwhelming for the ordinary, it is exhilarating for the extraordinary.-
Who:_
Such an environment and culture requires very special people who honour and embrace a certain set of behaviours and values:
We are dreamers - those who can embrace infinite possibilities and the big dreams we aspire to create.
We believe in truly connecting with other people and developing lasting and trusting relationships which will keep us safe in a world that can be unpredictable and scary.
We are candid communicators who always have the courage to challenge the status quo or alternatives, actions, and/or behaviours that are inconsistent with our long-term aspirations.
