PORTFOLIOÂ
ANALYST
Global risk and portfolio profiling help brands understand success across metrics such as currencies and economies. Understanding and increasing growth, as well as market share, through skilled optimisation, is a coveted skill set we hire for.
Strategic planning and stress testing to balance risk are paramount for the businesses we work with to maximise returns, and getting the most out of a portfolio is something all Harnham candidates are well versed in.
AIRB
MODELLING
Advanced Internal Ratings-Based Modelling (AIRB) refers to a set of Credit Risk measurement techniques which has allowed banks to develop models which can help them quantify the required capital for Credit Risk.
The development of PD, EAD and LGD models within the banking sector is a very important, but also very niche, skillset into which Harnham has focused on sourcing, understanding, and assessing both candidate abilities and client needs.Â
FRAUD
ANALYST
Fraud Analytics is an essential part of any business when it comes to profit and loss. To mitigate risk, our clients work to understand the drivers of fraud and its ultimate prevention through analytics.
Predicting future areas of fraud, mitigating risk, and protecting their clients and customers without damaging the accessibility and success of their products and services, is a key advantage to any business.
