The role involves conducting quantitative assessments of individual securities, industry sectors, or other potential investment avenues. You will monitor market dynamics, sector performance, and trading activity. Additionally, you will assist in formulating a trading strategy aimed at maximizing profitability while mitigating liquidity and interest rate risks. Identifying relative value opportunities that align with strategic business goals and portfolio strategies is essential. You will prepare reports detailing the regulatory and compliance qualifications of executed trades and analyze portfolio characteristics and performance, providing regular updates to management and the Asset Liability Committee.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Gather and evaluate financial data for assigned securities or sectors to support the development of investment strategies for one or more portfolios.

A Bachelor's degree in finance or business administration with a concentration in finance, accounting, or banking is required, along with ten (10) or more years of experience in diverse institutional fixed-income securities and/or financial analysis.

An MBA or CFA designation is highly desirable.
You should possess expert knowledge of securities transactions.

Effective communication and coordination skills with all levels of management and external vendors are essential; the ability to exercise sound judgment, discretion, and maintain confidentiality is crucial.

A moderate degree of creativity and independence is expected. You should be capable of working with minimal supervision and be open to moderate travel. Proficiency in oral and written communication is necessary, along with intermediate to advanced skills in Microsoft Office applications. Experience with fixed income analytical tools such as Bloomberg, YieldBook, FactSet, or similar products is required. You should demonstrate analytical thinking and mathematical skills, along with a fundamental understanding of fixed income trade flow, including execution, settlement, accounting, and reporting. Familiarity with liquidity and cash flow forecasting and its impact on portfolio management decisions is important. The ability to work collaboratively within a team is essential. You may also coach or instruct junior colleagues and provide leadership, coaching, and mentoring to a subordinate group.

Benefits:
In addition to a competitive salary, we offer a comprehensive benefits package focused on health and wellness, financial security, and work-life balance:

  • Flexible and affordable health and wellness benefits, including medical insurance, prescription drug coverage, dental insurance, vision care, and flexible spending accounts.
  • 401(k) plan with employer matching (up to 4%) and additional employer contributions (up to 5%), both of which vest on the first day of employment.
  • Employer-paid long-term disability and life insurance.
  • Generous vacation leave, sick leave, and up to eleven paid holidays.
