Geneva, Schweiz Union Bancaire Privee Vollzeit

Graduate Programme - Quantitative and risk analysis

Description

Union Bancaire Privée (UBP) is one of the largest family-owned private banks in the world. But what makes UBP really unique is its corporate culture, which combines modernity and tradition. Although UBP was founded in 1969, its origins can be traced back to the 17th century and the start of a long line of financiers and diplomats of whom Edgar de Picciotto and his descendants are the successors. Today, the Bank's staff draw their inspiration and drive from the founding family's subtle blend of strong moral values and pragmatism, which to this day remain the key to UBP’s success.

Mission

Permanent position with a 12-month rotational programme within different departments across the Bank to discover several activities, as well as build expertise and professional skills.

Challenges

This programme is dedicated to young graduates, with a Master’s degree recently obtained (before August 2024) from a highly recognised university and a maximum of 12 months’ global professional experience, seeking to discover the Banking industry. It includes the prospect of obtaining a permanent role within UBP Quantitative & Risk analysis Team at the end of the programme.

Main responsibilities

The main mission is to fulfil the demand in quantitative analysis, coming both from the different teams of the Asset Management department as well as from the Private Banking.

The role covers a wide range of activities such as producing and analysing quantitative & risk reports (Var contribution, tracking error analysis, stress tests, portfolio simulation, backtest,…), develop portfolio construction and optimization tools, answer to ad hoc requests on risk and quantitative analysis, for both internal and external clients. This induces the ongoing maintenance and development of the whole information system to sustain the activity, from data provider to client reporting/user interface development.
