Additional Information

  • Achievements I was involved in creating a report that is used by the traders; Middle office and wealth and investment teams. This report was to automate the way that margin Safex rates would be uploaded in to the system. The report also helped identify Non- tradeable stock and Stock that have moved from different margin groups due to their liquidity ranking in the market. In my previous role I was my manager’s stand in when she was not around. I would perform all the monthly KRI documents and deal with queries that she would deal with when she is around. I had the opportunity to manage the price proposals for potential new clients which was a great learning curve. We initiated a learning Committee that facilitates the process of rotating within Prime Services. What we aimed to achieve with this was for everyone to be cross skilled, improved and timely client service. Also be able to assist other teams when they are under - staffed during and free some time elsewhere.
