As a part of my role on the team, I review the overnight market news and commentary for the U.S. and Asia and catch up with market news for the European open. My morning is usually spent analysing the daily risk changes in the portfolio in relation to market moves and new trades, and sending reports and commentaries to senior management for the credit businesses I cover: high yield, investment grade and correlation.
Highlighting the firm’s key risks is a challenging task because senior management and regulators tend to ask tough questions, and we need to have the answers at our fingertips.
The complexity and scope of products is always increasing and evolving here at Goldman Sachs, so my work is also always evolving. I get to work with people across the firm, such as the modelling team, strategists, traders and market risk technologists. It’s a pleasure to work with such a diverse, dedicated and knowledgeable group of individuals.
