Financial Modeling Group (FMG)
FMG is a diverse and global team with a keen interest and expertise in all things related to technology and financial analytics. The group is responsible for the research and development of quantitative financial and behavioral models and tools across many different areas - single-security pricing, prepayment models, risk, return attribution, liquidity, optimization and portfolio construction, scenario analysis and simulations, covering all asset classes. The group is also responsible for the technology platform that delivers those models to our internal partners and external clients, and their integration with Aladdin.
FMG conducts leading research on the areas above, delivering state-of-the-art models. FMG publishes applied scientific research frequently, and our members present regularly at leading industry conferences. FMG engages constantly with the sales team in client visits and meetings.
Role
We are looking to hire Director to lead our Portfolio Risk setup from India region. This individual would have a strong background in quantitative research, have demonstrable project management skills as well as proven experience as a people manager responsible for mentoring a team of junior modelers and developers. They would also provide regional representation across our stakeholders and Aladdin clients in the Asia Pacific region.
The Portfolio Risk team builds a range of models and analytics including risk factor models, Value-at-Risk (VaR) methodologies, volatility and covariance matrix estimation and portfolio scenario analytics. Our models use sophisticated econometric/statistical methods and tools. The models themselves have real practical value and are used by traders, portfolio managers and risk managers. These models have a very large footprint of usage across the entire Aladdin client base, and so we place special emphasis on implementing models that scale with our growing Analytics' business, and ensuring adherence to BlackRock's rigorous standards of model governance. This individual would initially be focused on analytics work related to achieving scalability and improving governance.
