What is your job about?
I am an investment risk manager at a management company. As such I am responsible for managing financial risk – such as market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk – for investment funds. My responsibilities include setting risk profiles for investment funds, production of different quantitative risk measures, discussing results with portfolio managers and reporting to senior management. In addition, I have the chance to work on many projects focused on defining and improving the risk management framework and systems of the company.
What interests you most?
For me, the most interesting part about my job is the combination of quantitative tasks, such as analysis of risk measures, and tasks requiring social skills, such as discussions or presentations to different stakeholders. In addition, I have the opportunity to work with many different types of investment funds, in a very dynamic environment, hence my tasks are very different from day to day and definitely never boring.
How did your studies prepare you?
The mathematical studies have helped me develop my analytical skills, problem solving ability, made me more detail-oriented and helped me understand any complex financial product or concept presented to me.
