Build the skills for this role
Prioritize multi-asset portfolio risk (market, liquidity, leverage), derivatives and factor exposure literacy, stress testing, and clear risk reporting to investment partners. Build fluency in how private and public sleeves interact under firm-level risk policies.
- How you would structure risk oversight for a multi-asset book (limits, monitoring, escalation).
- Examples of stress tests or scenarios you have run and how they changed decisions.
- How you partner with PMs when risk and return views conflict.
- Familiarity with alternatives (PE, real estate, credit) as risk inputs, not only public markets.
Best fit for experienced risk professionals comfortable in a large alternatives platform, owning principal-level judgment across multi-asset exposures in an NYC, in-office setting—not a remote or pure quant-research-only role.
