APSG-IS Team Background Asia Pac responsibilities:-
As part of the APSG-IS group, the Performance GIPS team deliverables are to be the custodians of return provision and dissemination for BlackRock, this includes official return QC, analytical daily/weekly provision using Aladdin calculators, GIPS and attribution provision for PMG and GCG consumption.
As BlackRock currently uses multiple performance engines and reporting tools, the team respects the golden records, where Aladdin is not primary source and ensures accurate and timely centralization of the returns data.
The team in Singapore will support regional partners, focusing heavily on Australia and Japan, in order to insure global coverage of all performance functions (inclusive of portfolio and benchmark return centralization and calculation, attribution provision, GIPS and daily flash/analytics). The key clients for the team will be regional and global internal clients -- RQA, GCG, PMG and Client Reporting.
Products covered are the spectrum of Mutual Funds, ETF's and segregated clients and investment classes including Fixed Income, Multi-Asset (BMACS), Equity and Alternatives.
In addition to these tasks, the team will also be responsible for free of payment asset transfers and the maintenance of portfolio groups as part of the New Assets function. The team works closely with other operational and business areas to ensure high levels of client support.
Key Deliverables:
· Ensure accurate and timely provision of monthly performance (portfolio and benchmark) for Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong managed and reported mutual funds and institutional clients.
· Daily performance provision internal (PMG/GCG/RQA) for representative accounts.

· Maintain BEP exceptions and integrity.
· Maintain Stat-Pro composite data; liaise with global team to follow consistent process/reports.

· Support team development and engagement with internal clients/dependents.
· Work with global functional leads to ensure consistency of engagement and processes in the local offices.
· Update asset transfers to Aladdin and process portfolio group changes.
Systems and skills:
· Strong performance, PnL and attribution knowledge of all investment instrument types

· Confident self-motivated individual capable of interacting with senior internal and external clients and dependents to provide excellent service culture.
