I just completed my studies in Finance/Stats and got an offer to work at one of the largest asset management (unit trust) companies in Malaysia as an entry level junior exec in Risk Management.
For someone looking to make a career in Risk Mgmt and with an eye to get in to CorpBanking or IB later on, is this a good starting point?
The jobscope is shared as below:
•Perform risk assessment and evaluation of the principle risks of the Company and the funds it manages
•Develop and/or review risk management policies and procedures for the Company and the funds it manages
•Maintenance of the Risk Register templates of the Company and independent review of the annual risk register review conducted by business and support units
•To prepare risk management reports to Management and respective Committees
I'm pretty well versed with unit trust funds and know the fundamentals of risk and investing. I just want to know your opinions as to whether this is something you would get in to or not.
Thanks!
