Assistant Portfolio Manager, Liability Driven Investment (LDI)
This is a great role for a assistant portfolio manager or portfolio manager to join our LDI team.

The successful candidate will be responsible for managing LDI portfolios for our insurance and pensions clients, which will involve designing and implementing structured derivative strategies.

A bit about the job:
We are a global asset manager that combines our insurance heritage, investment capabilities and sustainability expertise to deliver wealth and retirement outcomes that matter most to investors.

As the asset management business of one of the UK's largest insurers, fixed income is in our DNA. Our experience spans across fixed income, from developed to emerging markets, investment grade to high yield and liquidity strategies. In addition to pooled strategies, we offer bespoke solutions to cater to individual client needs. Our insurance heritage makes us a natural partner for clients looking for consistent returns and enhanced capital preservation through market cycles.

This role is based in London, within our LDI team. You will be a portfolio manager on LDI portfolios and support the design and implementation of structured derivative strategies for our existing clients. In addition, you will support a range of other complementary mandates managed by the team as a co-portfolio manager. You will work collaboratively with other portfolio managers, research analysts, the Investment Solutions team and the trading teams.

Skills and experience we're looking for:

• Previous LDI portfolio management experience.
• Experience of managing hedging portfolios for insurance clients, or working within asset-liability management teams, would be a benefit.
• CFA Level III or similar professional qualification.
• Energetic and forward thinking with high ethical standards and truly professional approach.

What you'll get for this role:

• Generous pension scheme - Aviva will contribute up to 14%, depending on what you put in
• Eligibility for annual performance bonus
• Family friendly parental and carer's leave
• Generous holiday entitlement plus bank holidays with the option to buy/sell up to 5 additional days
• Up to 40% discount for Aviva products
• Aviva-funded Private Medical Benefit to help you get expert support when you need it
• Brilliant flexible benefits including electric cars
• Aviva Matching Share Plan and Save As You Earn scheme
• 21 volunteering hours per year

In this role you'll be 'Certified' under the Financial Conduct Authority / Prudential Regulation Authority's Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR). This means that we'll need to complete some regulatory background checks on you before you take up your role and we'll need to ask you some questions on an annual basis to make sure you remain 'fit and proper' and competent to carry out your role. We'll provide training on what holding a SMCR role means when you join us and annually thereafter.
