    Default job background
    Description

    Business Area: Product & Solutions
    Location: London
    Reporting to: Co-Head of LDI Portfolio Management
    Job title: LDI Assistant Portfolio Manager

    About Schroders
    We're a global investment manager. We help institutions, intermediaries and individuals around the world invest money to meet their goals, fulfil their ambitions, and prepare for the future.

    We have around 6,000 people on six continents. And we've been around for over 200 years, but keep adapting as society and technology changes. What doesn't change is our commitment to helping our clients, and society, prosper.

    The base
    We moved into our new HQ in the City of London in 2018. We're close to our clients, in the heart of the UK's financial centre. And we have everything we need to work flexibly.

    The team
    The LDI Portfolio Management team is currently a team of 10. We work closely together with our specific LDI Solutions Managers (14) and derivative structurers (3). This helps us to deliver integrated solutions and push forwards the best way to deliver on our client obligations.

    We design and implement liability hedging and related strategies and risk management overlays for clients, using our range of multi-client and bespoke pooled funds, as well as through segregated portfolios. The solutions principally use physical gilts, gilt based derivatives such as repo and total return swaps, and interest rate and inflation swaps. In addition, we integrate these hedging strategies with complementary exposures including other derivative overlays (e.g. equity options, futures and total return swaps, currency hedges or synthetic credit exposures) or a range of credit strategies, particularly with respect to the implementation of our growing CDI business. Our clients are mostly UK defined benefit pension schemes, but they interact with us through a variety of governance models including both internal and external fiduciaries; this has been a significant growth area for the business.

    We work within the governance structure that best suits our clients, and integrate our portfolio with their other investments, whether they are with Schroders or other asset managers. In many cases, this means leading Schroders'representation of blended solutions that combine many of our capabilities.

    We look for ways to standardise and automate our day to day work, so we can give extra care and attention to the things that make a difference.

    We're open to flexible working so we can all balance our personal and professional commitments.

    Who we're looking for
    We're looking for an Assistant Portfolio Manager with the experience and desire to shape our LDI solutions and help manage and grow our £47bn LDI business in a robust and scalable manner, whilst maintaining the care, attention and positive client experience we are renowned for.
    We are looking for someone who has the desire and ability to efficiently manage multiple clients'portfolios, improve systems and processes, and succeed in a fast-growing business.

    What you'll do

  • Monitor ongoing hedge effectiveness and collateral sufficiency;
  • Monitor and manage leverage for multiple clients and funds, while ensuring that each mandate stays within their guidelines;
  • Help us automate and improve our systems and processes, so as to support a rapidly growing and evolving business;
  • Liaise with Solutions Managers, derivative structurers, fixed-income traders and other Investment teams in Schroders to ensure smooth delivery of shared and complex mandates and
  • Establish and maintain relationships with counterparties to gain market insight and ensure continued access to leverage.

    • What you'll be like

  • Flexible, self-motivated and enthusiastic, with a hands-on approach to solving problems, and willing to learn;
  • Great at unpicking a problem, from start to end, own and deliver the solution;
  • Able to work under pressure, on several priorities at once, and with tight deadlines;
  • Great at working with other people, sharing and communicating decisions and
  • Keen to improve what we do for our clients and how we do it.

    • The knowledge, experience and qualifications you need

  • An interest and understanding of pension schemes, their liabilities and the instruments used to hedge them, including derivatives;
  • Knowledge of leveraged rates exposure strategies such as repos, TRS and swaps;
  • Forensic attention to detail and diligence in completing accurate analyses and portfolio design;
  • The desire to make the way we do things more robust, scalable and efficient and
  • Ability to work in a high-pressure environment and handle multiple tasks with tight deadlines.

    • The knowledge, experience and qualifications that will help

  • Familiarity with VBA/Python coding;
  • Experience in analysing and modelling DB pension schemes'liability cash flows;
  • Experience of GBP rates and inflation markets, and some understanding of UK specific regulations that affect DB pension schemes and
  • Understanding of complementary strategies; equity, credit and currency derivatives, credit based solutions including CDI, or other integrated solutions.

    • We recognise potential, whoever you are
    Our purpose is to provide excellent investment performance to clients through active management. Diversity of thought, facilitated by an inclusive culture, will allow us to make better decisions and better achieve our purpose. This is why inclusion and diversity are a strategic priority for us and why we are an equal opportunities employer.
