  • Identify emerging investment risks and support the development of mitigation strategies.
  • Support the enhancement of investment risk methodologies and monitoring frameworks.
  • Prepare risk reporting for Investment Governance Committees and senior stakeholders.
  • Produce portfolio performance, contribution, and attribution analysis.
  • Analyse portfolio returns against benchmarks, objectives, and peer groups.
  • Investigate the key drivers of performance and risk-adjusted returns.
  • Support the production of investment committee papers and management information.
  • Provide meaningful insight into portfolio construction and investment outcomes.
  • Monitor adherence to investment mandates, portfolio guidelines, and risk limits.
  • Investigate and report on investment risk exceptions and breaches.
  • Support governance activities, committee reporting, and regulatory oversight.
  • Maintain risk registers, documentation, and management information.
  • Contribute to the ongoing development of investment governance and control frameworks.
  • Use investment risk and portfolio analytics systems to support monitoring and reporting activities.
  • Assist with the development of automated reporting and analytical dashboards.
  • Conduct data validation and quality assurance reviews.
  • Support enhancements to analytical tools, reporting capabilities, and monitoring frameworks.
  • Work closely with Portfolio Managers, Investment Research, Operations, Risk, and Compliance teams.
  • Present analysis and findings to internal stakeholders.
  • Support product development and investment proposition reviews.
  • Help meet regulatory, governance, and Consumer Duty requirements through robust risk and performance oversight.

The knowledge, experience and qualifications you need


  • Experience within investment management, wealth management, asset management, or investment consulting.
  • Strong understanding of portfolio construction, asset allocation, and investment products.
  • Knowledge of investment risk management principles and methodologies.
  • Experience producing investment risk analysis, performance reporting, or investment analytics.
  • Strong analytical and quantitative skills.
  • Ability to interpret portfolio, market, and performance data.
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • High attention to detail with a structured and methodical approach.
  • Experience supporting managed portfolio services, model portfolios, or discretionary investment management.
  • Knowledge of FCA regulations, Consumer Duty, and investment governance frameworks.
  • Experience using investment analytics platforms such as Bloomberg, Morningstar, FactSet, Aladdin, or FE Analytics.
  • Understanding of performance attribution methodologies and risk modelling techniques.
