Fund Services

A DAY IN THE LIFE

I chose to start my career in Financial Services because...
I’m interested in financial markets and want to pursue a career that can offer me international exposure in a challenging and evolving environment.

I selected Fund Services because...
it’s a growing, global area where international issues impact business daily. Fund Services offers ongoing training and development opportunities and is a great way to learn about hedge fund structure and operation while gaining exposure to various industry initiatives and client service.

As a Fund Services analyst...
I receive continuous on-the-job training regarding hedge funds and investment strategies. I identify and analyze issues by gathering information, employing creative problem-solving skills and paying close attention to detail. Important skills to have include the ability to multitask, knowing how to prioritize your work, communicating effectively with others, and the willingness to learn.

A typical day for me...
includes overseeing daily controls of hedge fund books and records and ensuring transactions are properly accounted for. I start my day checking email for pressing client issues or global procedures, then review client accounts and check reconciliations and pricing.

The best part of my job is...
that no two days are the same. I love working in a fast-paced, developing environment with colleagues across the globe.

Many former analysts have gone on to...
cover hedge fund clients, move into client relationship management or specialize in a particular area of hedge fund administration such as Investor Servicing, Tax or Accounting.
