A career with Third Avenue Management provides the opportunity to work with a leading value-oriented investment adviser. The Firm was founded in 1986 by legendary investor Martin J. Whitman and is headquartered in New York, NY with a regional office in Austin, TX.

Today, the Firm is partnered with Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (NYSE:AMG) and has five core strategies — Global Value, Small-Cap Value, Real Estate Value, International Real Estate Value, and International Value – which are available to investors through ’40 Act mutual funds, UCITS, and customized accounts.
At Third Avenue Management we believe a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace is one where all employees feel valued. We are committed to a nondiscriminatory approach and providing equal opportunity for employment and advancement.
