Investment Analyst
Mathematics with Finance BSc(Hons) - Graduated June 2006
My course provided me with skills and knowledge and mathematical rigour that put me at an advantage in both obtaining my job and performing well in it. I gained a solid grasp of the mechanisms behind the major markets and the mathematics behind asset pricing.
Quantitative skills are regarded highly in this type of work as financial markets develop and become increasingly complex. The university provided me with the resources and supervision I needed to complete a finance-orientated dissertation in my final year enabling me to develop skills in my area of interest.
I started my graduate job in June 2006 as an investment analyst at Credaris Portfolio Management based in Mayfair, London. The company manages portfolios of credit derivative assets; these are assets derived from the credit worthiness of a company. No two days are the same, making it a fresh and dynamic place to work.
