Lead and conduct portfolio and asset allocation analysis based on a variety of factors including business strategies and developments, market conditions, issuer, and credit rating concentrations. Recommend appropriate benchmarking for the different investment mandates. Provide research and decision support related to special projects as needed. Assist with the management of external vendor relationships and inquiries from internal and external sources. Ensure adherence to compliance requirements and provide reporting as needed. You’ll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role
