Fixed Income Attribution Specialist

Imagine assets worth over 75 billion euros. And then imagine you’re the specialist involved for measuring asset attribution, analysing the results, and the optimising attribution process. Because that’s your challenge as a Fixed Income attribution specialist at NN Group, the Netherlands’ largest financial services provider.

What are you going to do?

You’ll be playing a key role in NN’s global transformation to centralised analysis of asset performance and attribution. The goal is to gain efficiency benefits and highly reliable calculations thanks to standardised methods and tools, covering the entire scope from fixed income to equities and derivatives. Your work is crucial, as an error margin of just 1% may run into discrepancies of millions of euros in our balance sheet! The data sets you and your colleagues provide are the foundation of Operational Capital Generation (OCG) reporting and investor communication. Which is why your work has the attention of the managing board!

Your main responsibilities:

• Coordinating the onboarding of business units to our centralised asset movement analysis services, for which you’ll be working closely with the finance managers of entities across the globe.
• Testing the SimCorp Dimension software for Fixed Income Performance Attribution, checking whether calculations are correct, and analysing and resolving discrepancies.
• Analysing asset performance, benchmarking the performance of our business units, for which you will also be testing.
• Discussing the asset movements with internal stakeholders who are responsible for OCG reporting in their respective countries, and explaining the calculations and data sets.
• Creating for the asset side of the balance sheet a sustainable Solvency II reporting environment for all NN entities, which relies on OCG reporting.
