Post Trade Analyst

About the Role

The Post Trade team is responsible for the life-cycle of our trades from the moment they have been executed onwards. This includes handling operational issues with allocation, booking, and settlement of our trades, any post-trade regulatory reporting, electing on optional corporate actions, reconciling any differences or breaks between us, our prime brokers and our fund administrator, and generally any other operational issues arising from our trades and positions post execution of our trades.

Job Requirements

• Liaising between brokers, the fund administrator, and Arcesium to resolve any position reconciliation breaks resulting from e.g., incorrectly handled corporate actions or settlement failures.
• Helping the finance team with cash, PnL, borrow and commission costs, and NAV reconciliations.
• Overseeing of the post-trade allocation process including the outsourced trade support functions and settlement queries.
• Booking of corporate actions, manual trades and recalls.
• Monitoring and reporting on our regulatory position controls such as sanctions, restricted lists, EMIR, 13F, and ESMA.
• Evaluating and making elections on voluntary corporate actions like rights issues and tender offers.
• Liaising with the Compliance team over trade surveillance/SMARTS

You might thrive in this role if you have:

• Solid understanding of capital markets, financial instruments, and global trading practices.
• Strong knowledge of operational aspects of full trade lifecycle pre-, at-, and post-trade, including give ups, clearing, booking, allocation, settlement, and corporate action processing.
• Prior experience with position, cash, and PnL reconciliation and addressing settlement failures.
• Awareness of regulatory requirements (e.g., MiFID II, EMIR, 13F, ESMA), sanctions, restricted names, market segments, and any other factors that can limit trading.
