    Default job background
    Description

    Insight Investment is a leading asset manager focused on designing investment solutions to meet its clients' needs.

    Founded in 2002, Insight's collaborative approach has delivered both investment performance and growth in assets under management. Insight manages assets across its core liability-driven investment, risk management, full-spectrum fixed income, currency, and absolute return capabilities. Insight Investment is owned by BNY Mellon, a global leader in investment management and investment services.

    As a leading fixed income specialist asset manager, Insight Investments aims to deliver consistent and repeatable performance by focusing on key specializations - fixed income, insurance asset management, risk management strategies including liability-driven investment (LDI), currency risk management and absolute return and multi-asset. Headquartered in London (with other key offices in New York, Boston, San Francisco, Dublin, Frankfurt, Manchester, Sydney, and Tokyo), the business employs over 1,100 people including 285-plus investment professionals.

    With just under $1 trillion under management and sitting within the Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNY Mellon), Insight leverages the unique combination of achieving the high-performing, risk-adjusted returns of a boutique with the financial stability of a large, global financial institution. It enjoys investment decision-making autonomy, operating with an independent management structure and boards. As part of BNY Mellon's multi-boutique structure, Insight has the backing of a sound global financial institution for which asset management is a core strategic priority.

    The business has a clear mission and purpose to offer investors a different approach to achieving their investment goals; one that prioritizes the certainty of meeting their chosen objectives. Since its launch in 2002, Insight's partnership approach has delivered an impressive record of growing assets under management based on client advocacy, making it a leading force in investment management. Insight is ranked number one in Edelman's Asset Management Brand Index 2021 as the manager whose brand is most highly regarded in the institutional marketplace.

    Insight takes responsible investment seriously. In our view, it is as an essential part of deciding whether an investment is fair value. Insight is a signatory to the Financial Reporting Council's UK Stewardship Code and a founding signatory to the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in 2006.

    Insight has a global network of operations in the UK, Ireland, Germany, US, Japan, and Australia.

    Division Description:

    Insight has established risk management and compliance functions to provide second line, independent oversight of the firm's investment management activities. These functions operate on an arm's length basis from Insight business staff.

    Investment Risk
    The Investment Risk team is primarily responsible for the oversight and governance of investment risks within both all funds and segregated mandates. In addition, it ensures the business has adequate systems and controls in place to manage the risks arising from all portfolio positions. The team works with departments across Insight to develop and deliver solutions to quantify and assess risk exposures and to ensure the risk dynamics of portfolios are controlled and well understood. The team also provides advice and support to various groups throughout Insight.

    Operational Risk
    The Corporate Risk team has responsibility for the design and development of the risk management framework. The team's objectives are the promotion and facilitation of forward-looking identification and assessment of potential risks considering both quantitative and qualitative impacts; implementing clear reporting and escalation processes to ensure that the residual risk profile of the firm is appropriate and in line with the Board's risk appetite and overseeing the timely setting and regular monitoring of actions required to reduce the risk profile or improve the control environment where these are deemed necessary.

    Information Risk
    The Information Risk team is responsible for oversight and challenge of risk arising from the processing of the firm's operational information and personal data. The team is separate from Operational Risk because of the distinctive nature of technology risk controls. Information Risk works through maintenance of compliance with ISO standards for the firm's business continuity and information security management systems, through setting and communicating information policies, through direct access to IT and security teams, and by operation of non-technological information controls and training programmes. Information Risk is not a security or technology team, but it does use specialist knowledge of information processing controls as well as investment processes.

    Compliance
    The Compliance team has responsibility for the identification and assessment of current and future changes in regulation and other key inputs to the business, formulation of policy and provision of guidance and training to ensure that the Insight reputation is properly protected, regulatory standards are being met and any competitive opportunities from regulation changes are fully explored. The Team is responsible for ongoing advice on day-to-day business regulatory related issues and monitoring and assurance of robustness of controls and compliance with regulation.

    Role Overview
    Working within an experienced and dynamic risk management team, the successful candidate will be comfortable interacting with an array of senior stakeholders within the firm; providing opinion, influence, and challenge to the first line of the business to add value to the firm and help to safeguard client assets.

    The Risk Team will provide relevant training for the candidate to develop the skills necessary to succeed in the role.

    The role seeks to provide and monitor risk information in a timely manner; ensuring that data produced is accurate, relevant, and reliable. Furthermore, the role provides the opportunity to assist with the development of global analytics systems that are used throughout the firm.

    Role Responsibilities

    1. Portfolio risk analysis, control & reporting with a focus on Fixed Income strategies that have a specific targeted risk and/or cashflow outcome (Liability Driven Investment), including:
    • Understand and take accountability for key portfolio risks, including but not limited to:
      • Analysis & evaluation of key risks - both in the context of portfolios, potential new mandates, and key exposures in isolation.
      • Escalation of monitoring breaches to line management, fund managers, client directors, operations staff, or system support as appropriate.
      • Being proactive in the pursuit of improving data quality and modelling approaches within analytics systems to improve the quantification of portfolio risks.
      • Track and manage certain regular and ad-hoc client reporting requests, as well as meet with Clients on risk related matters from time to time.
    • Help drive the ongoing and continued improvement of risk and analytics within the firm:
      • Review and validate proposed pricing &/or risk modelling changes and ensure relevant documentation and approvals have been completed. A creative approach is required as the firm continues to develop new business strategies/solutions.
      • Testing of risk analytics systems, ensuring that all risk exposures are visible, controllable, and intuitive.
      • Collateral resiliency testing and counterparty risk control, building out reporting and control design.
    • Work with a high performing team interacting with a wide array of stakeholders across the firm:
      • Risk Governance Committee member and presenter. Raise concerns and promote open discussions at each committee meeting to help ensure all relevant aspects of the investment have been considered. Assist with the production and presentation of risk at various committees and client meetings.
      • Respond to/investigate enquiries/issues, developing ad hoc analysis/modelling when required.
      • Providing support and assistance to the line manager and to the broader Investment Risk team.

      Experience Required

      • Relevant experience in a risk role within either the insurance, investment banking or asset management industry is necessary, and some exposure to liability driven investing is desirable, but not essential.
      • Good mathematical knowledge obtained through undergraduate degree (or higher) in a STEM subject or Economics.
      • A working understanding of financial markets and product modelling - in particular Fixed Income instruments.
      • Very good problem solving, and analytical skills are required.
      • A working knowledge of UCITS and/or AIFMD would be beneficial.
      • Needs to be able to succinctly explain complex concepts and data to multi-disciplinary audiences.

      Insight is committed to being an inclusive employer and encourages applications from all suitably qualified applicants irrespective of background, circumstances, age, disability, gender identity, ethnicity, religion or belief and sexual orientation.
