Description
The Investment Risk Analyst will support the identification, assessment, and ongoing monitoring of investment risks across Multi-Asset portfolios, contributing to the team's broader goal of delivering strong risk-adjusted outcomes for clients.
Reporting directly to the Head of Multi-Asset Investment Risk, the analyst will be one of three members of a close-knit team, working collaboratively while maintaining the autonomy to drive their own workload. The role requires a curious and analytically rigorous mindset, with the confidence to engage portfolio managers as a genuine risk partner — challenging portfolio exposures, explaining risk drivers, and influencing investment decisions through well-reasoned analysis. Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to manage a varied and demanding workload are essential to success in this position
