WHAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY?

Our rotational Analyst Graduate Programme will allow you to contribute to and learn from groups such as Risk, Treasury and Trading Strategy and will provide an opportunity to join our Trading Execution Desk (“TED”) team.

Treasury
Our Treasury Team is responsible for running the treasury operations of the fund, including cash and liquidity management, collateral management and execution of financing transactions.

Trading Strategy
Our Trading Strategy team is responsible for providing useful signals for discretionary trading, for example analysing fund flows and positioning, and monitoring government and corporate bond issuance to assess the impact on yields. Some members of the team also develop systematic trading strategies, generating signals that automate the recommendation of trades to the Investment desk.

Trading Execution Desk (TED)
Our Trading Execution Desk is the entry point to a career in investment at RCM. The team is collaborative by design; therefore, we are looking for strong team players who are proactive in offering and asking for help. You will be given significant opportunities to learn and develop into holistic macro trading professionals, gaining expertise across all major macro asset classes.

Risk
Risk is at the centre of our investment strategy. It impacts the way we manage the portfolio, and our relationship with counterparties, regulators, and our investors. Our aim is to Identify, Measure, Monitor, and Control Risk. The success of this mission starts with the quality and competence of the individuals working in the risk team.
