Are you passionate about fixed income markets and excited to grow your career in portfolio management? We are looking for a motivated, analytically minded professional with a strong interest in rates and agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) to join our team of dedicated investment professionals within Swiss Re’s Asset Management (AM) unit. This is an exciting opportunity to build your expertise in a dynamic, intellectually challenging market-driven environment while gaining exposure to the intersection of macroeconomics, market structure, quantitative investing, and emerging technologies.
About the Role
As a Junior Fixed Income Portfolio Manager on the Rates and ALM (Asset Liability Management) team, you will join a team of Portfolio Managers focused on Swiss Re's government and government-related fixed income portfolios - including Treasuries, interest rate derivatives, and agency MBS. You will be engaging in quantitative investment analysis, portfolio construction, and trade execution, leveraging data-driven insights to support investment decisions.
This role offers a blend of exposure to both interest rate markets and agency MBS, and will include building AI-enabled analytical tools, analyzing market developments, and actively supporting and improving daily portfolio management processes.
Key Responsibilities include the following:
-
Alongside Senior Portfolio Managers, execute trades across government bonds, agency mortgage-backed securities, interest rate swaps, futures, and other fixed income derivatives, ensuring smooth trade operations.
-
Conduct quantitative investment analysis and portfolio construction across government and agency MBS markets, including scenario testing, curve and spread modeling, and prepayment analysis.
-
Analyze yield curve dynamics, agency MBS and broader market trends, while monitoring macroeconomic developments and contributing to relative value analysis across rates markets.
-
Develop and enhance AI- and Python-enabled automation tools, and Bloomberg data to enhance investment research, portfolio monitoring, market analysis, and trade execution insights.
-
Engage with investment bank economists and strategists, bringing relevant market insights back to the team and contributing to investment discussions.
-
Monitor portfolio risk and performance while supporting trade booking, P&L reconciliation, reporting, and the preparation of investment materials.

You bring a solid foundation in financial markets and macroeconomic trends, along with a curiosity to deepen your expertise across rates and mortgage-backed securities. Comfortable working with data and tackling analytical challenges, you are also interested in new technologies and excited to explore how AI can enhance investment and portfolio management workflows.
