Investment Performance Reporting

• Prepare standard monthly performance reports including collation of external investment manager reports and valuation statements.
• Prepare quarterly performance reports, updating IRRs and multiples for illiquid funds.
• Reconcile performance reports to custodian statements and management accounts.
• Collate capital call/distribution notices and update illiquid funds records. Reconcile outstanding commitments and capital call amounts to the actual notices.

• Prepare ad-hoc performance analyses including asset class attribution and external benchmark comparisons.
• Use of Bloomberg to acquire market or index data.

Investment Execution

• Follow through on investment decisions ensuring accurate and timely execution by brokers and custodians.
• Coordinate investment execution, eg completing subscription forms, compiling KYC documentation and obtaining director signatures.
• Liaise with the custodian to instruct investment subscription and ensure cash settlement.
• Collate and review contract notes received directly from fund’s administrator and/or the custodian.

• Proactively promote and maintain high standards at work – taking the initiative to resolve and/or draw attention to areas that don’t meet required standards or any issues that arise.

Skills Knowledge & Experience

• Strong academic background with demonstrated analytical capabilities, detail orientated and excellent written and oral communication skills. These capabilities will be tested during the recruitment process.
• Strong candidates will be undertaking or have completed further professional studies (for example CISI IOC).
