Senior Portfolio Manager – Mutual Funds recruitment
The Cash Management Group manages a suite of products that includes Prime and Government Money Market Mutual funds and Separate Accounts. BlackRock's cash management style is designed to meet each client's objectives of capital preservation, liquidity and yield - in that order. The basis of successful investment performance is research and analysis of sectors and securities, not interest rate speculation. Although past performance is not indicative of future results, we believe our record of consistent outperformance while controlling risk in our liquidity funds validates a competitive edge in our ability to create alpha within a risk-controlled framework. This philosophy is supported by careful analysis of credit, interest rate trends, and relative value opportunities which ultimately produce exceptional investment returns on a risk adjusted basis. Our disciplined approach to investing originated in 1973 when we pioneered the first constant-dollar money market fund dedicated to institutional investors.
The candidate will be expected to successfully contribute to the management of large, money market mutual funds and separate accounts. He or she will be responsible for maintaining the integrity of portfolios from a credit and risk perspective while contributing to strong relative investment performance. The candidate must also be able to represent the team before clients and boards.
