Connect to your Industry
Market Risk is one of the major risk types in Financial Institutions, primarily the Capital Markets division of banks but also in other FI's who trade and consequently need to manage risk in their portfolios. Market Risk Capital amounts to anywhere from 15% to 25% of a bank’s total capital requirement. The drivers of market risk and the process to calculate and manage this risk is complex.
As we expand our Risk Advisory business to more holistically include all risk types, the focus on Market Risk increases. With the ever important regulations for Market Risk, FRTB and the client-driven demand to support them in these deliverables is also driving an increasing need for these skills.

We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further details as you progress through the recruitment process, or you can contact the Independence team upon request.
