Company website
Yona Capital Management, based in Miami Beach, is hiring an Investment Analyst for its multi-million-dollar tax lien certificate fund. The analyst reviews deals at county auctions and in secondary markets, checks that each one passes due diligence, and sets “bid up to” values based on the lien and the underlying property. They work closely with the CIO to refine those values, then place bids at the CIO’s direction, within strict capital and compliance limits. The job calls for strong quantitative and Excel skills, quick decision-making, and some travel to auctions.
About Yona Capital Management
Yona Capital manages several family offices and funds, and is a licensed real estate brokerage. Our focus is in real estate and tax liens. Our mission is to find investment strategies that offer asymmetric risk-reward profiles and manage them on behalf of our clients. Most low risk investment strategies offer low returns day in and day out, while most high return strategies are often very risky in the worst case. We seek low risk and high returns. This has led us away from overpriced assets and look where we can acquire assets at significant discount to net asset value with high fidelity.
