About Schroders
We’re a global investment manager. We help institutions, intermediaries and individuals around the world invest money to meet their goals, fulfil their ambitions, and prepare for the future.
We have around 6,000 people on six continents. And we’ve been around for over 200 years, but keep adapting as society and technology changes. What doesn’t change is our commitment to helping our clients, and society, prosper.
The base
We moved into our new HQ in the City of London in 2018. We’re close to our clients, in the heart of the UK’s financial centre. And we have everything we need to work flexibly.
The team
The LDI Portfolio Management team is currently a team of 10. We work closely together with our specific LDI Solutions Managers (14) and derivative structurers (3). This helps us to deliver integrated solutions and push forwards the best way to deliver on our client obligations.
We design and implement liability hedging and related strategies and risk management overlays for clients, using our range of multi-client and bespoke pooled funds, as well as through segregated portfolios. The solutions principally use physical gilts, gilt based derivatives such as repo and total return swaps, and interest rate and inflation swaps. In addition, we integrate these hedging strategies with complementary exposures including other derivative overlays (e.g. equity options, futures and total return swaps, currency hedges or synthetic credit exposures) or a range of credit strategies, particularly with respect to the implementation of our growing CDI business. Our clients are mostly UK defined benefit pension schemes, but they interact with us through a variety of governance models including both internal and external fiduciaries; this has been a significant growth area for the business.
We work within the governance structure that best suits our clients, and integrate our portfolio with their other investments, whether they are with Schroders or other asset managers. In many cases, this means leading Schroders'representation of blended solutions that combine many of our capabilities.
We look for ways to standardise and automate our day to day work, so we can give extra care and attention to the things that make a difference.
We're open to flexible working so we can all balance our personal and professional commitments.
Who we’re looking for
