  • Undertake financial analysis of individual transactions and their impact on the risk and return profiles of their fund, to drive better portfolio management.
  • Produce appropriate scenario and stress-testing analysis to ensure that asset and portfolio risks are fully considered and understood.
  • Create and update financial models to support analytical work.
  • Proactively engage with the wider Aviva Investors' business to drive improvements in operational processes and systems
