Job Description:

  4. Respond to deadline-driven requests (potentially including regulatory or other external requests) requiring quantitative risk analysis.
  5. Participate in the ongoing evolution of quantitative risk research and analysis at CG.
  6. Participate in collaborative process-oriented projects within RAM, QRA and across CG.
  7. Develop analytical risk reporting approaches and conduct reviews on a regular basis with periodic updates and refinements.
  8. Learn about and develop new models, tools, techniques, and processes and identify and communicate potential applications at CG.

”I am the person Capital Group is looking for”

You have excellent quantitative research skills, as evidenced by an advanced degree (MFE, MSc, PhD) in a mathematically robust discipline (e.g., econometrics, mathematical finance, statistics, or physics) or equivalent experience.

You have excellent systems and computer skills, including a strong working knowledge of Excel, SQL, and quantitative programming languages (e.g., Python or R).

Experience with data visualization software (Tableau, Power BI) and knowledge of financial software (e.g., Aladdin, Axioma, BarraOne, Bloomberg, Capital IQ or FactSet) is a plus.

You use a variety of mathematical and financial concepts to structure complex problems as they apply to portfolio construction, calculus, portfolio theory, derivatives, etc.

You have intellectual curiosity about financial markets, risk, asset allocation, and investing.

You effectively communicate findings across a variety of audiences.

You collaborate and partner well with QRA associates, quantitative technology peers, investment professionals, and other groups within CG.

You understand quantitative financial concepts as they apply to multi-asset portfolio risk.

Existing knowledge of quantitative financial models and demonstrated ability to learn within a quantitative research role is preferred; knowledge of econometrics and derivatives is a plus.

You have excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.

You have excellent written and oral communication and interpersonal skills as well as the ability to effectively interact with a diverse group of associates including Investment Group, Results Analysis and IT.

You’ve found that stepping out of your comfort zone opens the door to innovation. You’re open to constructive opinions and are always looking to improve your work product.

You must be able to meet regular deadlines, demonstrate excellent attention to detail, and work well under tight time constraints, while balancing multiple priorities.

You’re able to work independently and as part of a team in a highly collaborative environment.
