      Jun 2012 - Sept 2013
      Desk assistant

      Trading liquid bonds in the market with a maximum value per trade. The role involved communicating on a daily basis with senior Portfolio Managers in UBP. Ultimately, I traded on their decisions, after providing live indicative bids or offers. In order to trade on live markets I was required to pass the CISI L3 Financial Regulations exam.As a desk assistant, my responsibilities were to collate information using the in-house platform and using a number of databases to compute, present and summarise complex information to the team. Clear and concise reporting to senior managers was required, including efficiently summarising data output. The graphical representation of these models was a useful tool to visually support conclusions and recommendations drawn from the analytics and to inform future investments. Show less
