The Asset and Wealth Management Risk Technology group works closely with quantitative specialists to produce refined data for global risk reporting groups to consume. The metrics that we produce are used by our portfolio management and risk management teams to track portfolio risk relative to benchmarks and external funds. Risk alerts on outsized risks and anomalies are raised by the system, after which they are reviewed and acted upon. Our system is used to monitor and report on risk both internally and to regulators. The information we produce is reviewed by the highest levels of management at the firm.

This team is responsible for managing an interactive presentation of the risk reporting system with the ability to aggregate or decompose risk at the holding, portfolio, strategy, LOB or AM level. The framework provides exposure, sensitivities, stress and VaR on an absolute and active basis, and allows for aggregation across multiple instrument attributes (e.g. country, sector, issuer). The team also focuses on integrating analytics risk engines and data sources to create a comprehensive risk analysis and reporting platform.

In Asset and Wealth Management Risk Technology we have the opportunity to work with emerging technologies to create the most efficient and streamlined operation within our industry. We strive to be the leader on process and technology innovation within the group and are looking for like-minded motivated individuals to join and contribute.

The Glasgow team is a new addition to the AWM Risk Technology family and has a potential to become a hub for excellence so it is an exciting time to join. The team will be fully involved in developing and architecting the next-generation presentation layer for the risk system which helps drive the business into the Big Data era.
