Congrats Drew!

What's the role?

Re: Congratualtions to...........
 

something to do with finance and derivatives!?... I must learn to pay attention a bit more :rolleyes:

Re: Congratualtions to...........
 

Hiya all, thank you soooooooooo much for the congrats.

The role is what is classed as "middle office". Basically, the fund managers / traders place Derivatives trades in whichever market they are making them world wide, my job will be to assist the front office in monitoring the trades from inception through to final settlement. Any issues that arise throughout the life cycle of the trade would need to be managed and dealt with by the team of three I will be working with.

Its a brilliant opportunity as will give me the chance to have exposure to the front office, trading platforms, settlement, clearing and custodian issues. So pretty much the entire investment lifecycle.

As Lily said, means no more long commutes, better money, plus the added bonus of working for one of the leading investment banks.

To say I am chuffed is an understatement!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
