Global Asset Manager | London (hybrid, 3 days in office) | Permanent
Most fund accounting roles are about following the process. This one is about being the person who works out what the process should be. Our client, a global active asset manager, is hiring a senior specialist into a small fund accounting team that acts as the firm's subject matter expert on valuation and NAV. When a fund launches, merges, restructures or closes, one person from this team leads for fund accounting. That event is yours: you identify the risks, decide what needs to be considered and bring the solutions.
What you'll do
- Lead fund accounting input on the product change pipeline across UK OEICs, Luxembourg SICAVs, Irish UCITS, investment trusts and hedge funds: launches, closures, mergers, restructures, in-specie transfers and large client transitions
- Act as the swing pricing expert for the business, applying the policy and analysing its effectiveness
- Coordinate the large redemptions working group across front office, compliance and middle office, ensuring fair treatment of redeeming and remaining investors
- Test and implement performance fee models, and resolve complex NAV issues
- Assess the impact of regulatory change with Product, Compliance and the third-party administrators
What you'll bring
- Strong daily dealing funds experience (essential)
- Real technical depth in NAV production: swing pricing, fair value pricing, performance fees and valuation points
- Hands-on product change experience as the expert in the room, not the coordinator
- The confidence to hold your position with senior stakeholders, and the technical substance to explain why
- A habit of arriving with proposals, not just problems
- Hedge fund exposure, an accountancy background or an industry qualification (IAQ, IMC, CFA) would all be an advantage.
Why it's worth a conversation
- Rare breadth: every event is different, and there is a lot of new activity coming
- Genuine visibility across the business
- A strong route for someone at a fund administrator or service provider who wants to move to the manager side; the team's leaders made the same move
- A two-stage interview process
- Discretionary bonus, hybrid working and a comprehensive benefits package
