Overview
A leading global finance firm is seeking an Associate to join its Public Markets team in Dubai.
This portfolio oversight and construction role involves operating as a fund allocator, investing principally through passive and active equity and hedge fund strategies.
The position offers exposure to strategic asset allocation across global markets and direct collaboration with senior investment leadership.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the Head of Public Markets on strategic and tactical asset allocation across global equities, fixed income, commodities and liquid alternatives, combining active and passive strategies
- Build and maintain capital market assumptions, run optimization, scenario analysis and stress testing
- Translate investment beliefs and constraints into portfolio construction rules and policy benchmarks
- Conduct ex-ante and ex-post risk and performance attribution across asset classes, strategies and managers
- Identify unintended bets and concentration risk while monitoring risk budgets
- Assist with external fund manager and hedge fund selection and oversight
- Contribute to rebalancing frameworks, derivative overlays and implementation
- Track model versus actual portfolios and performance
- Build and automate analytics infrastructure including risk systems, optimizers, dashboards and data pipelines
- Prepare high-quality analytics packs for the Investment Committee and Board
Skills & Experience
- 2-4 years of experience in public market passive investing, investment allocation via selected fund managers and hedge funds, portfolio construction, reporting or monitoring
- Background ideally gained at a renowned asset management firm, sovereign wealth fund, family office or consultancy
- Strong foundation in portfolio construction, modeling, analytics, risk management and performance monitoring
- Deep understanding of strategic and tactical asset allocation, capital market assumptions, diversification, factor investing, risk budgeting and optimization for multi-asset portfolios
- Familiarity with risk/factor and attribution tools such as Barra, Axioma, RiskMetrics
- Experience with market data platforms including Bloomberg and Datastream
- Programming and data skills in Python or R, SQL, Excel/VBA
- Advanced degree and/or CFA designation (or working towards) in finance, economics or related field
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with ability to translate complex analytics into clear executive insight
Why This Role Stands Out
This position offers the opportunity to work within a sophisticated institutional investment framework, gaining exposure to global markets and advanced portfolio construction techniques.
The role provides direct access to senior investment decision-makers and the chance to contribute to significant asset allocation decisions across multiple asset classes and investment strategies.
