- Drive intra-year portfolio optimization to align asset allocation with evolving business needs, market conditions, and product-specific pricing considerations.
- Assess trade-offs between yield, liquidity, risk, and capital impact when evaluating tactical allocation decisions.
Investment Operations & Stakeholder Coordination
