Investment Processes Specialist

The Principal Directorate Administration of the Reserve Funds contributes to the long-term financial stability of the European Patent Organisation by assuming responsibility for the investment activities related to the Reserve Funds for Pensions and Social Security (RFPSS). In view of the size of the Reserve Funds, currently valued at nearly EUR 15bn, the results achieved by the management of the investments of the RFPSS are of vital importance for the financial health of the Organisation.

The assets of the RFPSS are invested in a broad range of liquid asset classes with a focus on equities and fixed income. They are managed internally, both by means of direct investments and by using third-party vehicles such as investment funds.

The Fund Administrator, appointed by the Administrative Council, oversees the Reserve Funds and their organisational units, proposing the Investment Beliefs, Investment Guidelines, Investment Strategy, Strategic Asset Allocation and other implementing rules to the Supervisory Board.

The Principal Directorate, based in Munich, consists of four units: Portfolio Management; Investment Analytics and Risk and Process Management; Accounting and Internal Control; and Administration and Operations.

The Principal Directorate is now looking for an experienced, talented and motivated investment professional to join its Investment Analytics and Risk and Process Management team as an Investment Processes Specialist.
