Overview of Role

The Investment Analytics function forms a key part of the UK Wealth Management business and has primary responsibility for monitoring investment risk within our discretionary portfolio strategies, maintaining the official track record and related performance analytics for these strategies, and providing regular quantitative analysis to a wide audience within the business. The team is an integral contributor to the UK Investment Risk Committee, to whom it provides monthly reporting covering a wide range of topics that include risk budgeting, scenario analysis and stress testing, factor exposures, and investment performance.

Over time, there has been increased emphasis on streamlining and automating many of our data collection processes and analyses using tools such as Python and R. As our business grows and the complexity of reporting and sources of data increases, the ‘data analyst’ element of this role is going to feature more prominently over time. It is crucial that the team evolves into one that can approach data analysis using the modern techniques available, and we are looking for someone who can support these efforts.

A good fit for this role is someone who is proficient in quantitative analysis, enjoys working with complex data, and is capable of drawing inferences using these skills in combination. Proficiency in Excel is a must, and some experience with a programming language such as Python or R is preferred.
