Are Financial reporting, data & financial analytics and management accounting topics that interest you? And does Finance mean more than a good salary? Are you not risk averse, but triggered by risks? Would you like to work with big data, models, risk analysis and digitalization? If so, we would like to talk to you about the Finance & Risk Traineeship at APG.
Job Description
As a Finance & Risk Trainee at APG Asset Management you will be introduced to finance and risk across the board. You will of course be doing assignments that tie in with your university studies and your interests. Looking to deepen your knowledge of the financial organization of an asset manager? An assignment with the business control team would interest you. Interested in the valuation of investments? The financial reporting team would have a great assignment. Do you have an affinity with strategic and non-financial risks? Then you might want to delve into enterprise risk. Do you prefer to focus on deals and risks? In that case an investment risk assignment is right for you. If this sounds like a candy store to you, you’re right: it is. Finance & Risk at APG AM is broad and challenging.
As a trainee you start with clear assignments that allow you to put your theoretical knowledge into practice. Your team members are just as curious as you are: is there another way of modelling, is there a better methodological approach? This is your chance to work on your idea.
Quote of trainee Zexuan Yuan: “For my first assignment, I am building a risk monitoring tool for Listed Real Estate assets in the Asset Risk Management team.I really enjoy working on it, not only because the content itself is interesting, but also because it enables me to apply my skills and knowledge learned from the university on the real investment world! Furthermore, I get a personal buddy, a mentor and a field coach with whom I have weekly contact, and I can always talk to them if I encounter any issue. Every other colleague in the team is also very approchable and willing to help me. I really love the open culture!”
As a Finance & Risk trainee, you will be working in true strategic partnership with the business, working closely with stakeholders to make the right risk-based decisions. One of the spearheads is creating risk awareness with the aid of data-driven insights. Your teammates work on this from the perspective of their own field of expertise: from qualitative matters to quant-related topics.
Spoiled for choice? We can well imagine. But as a trainee there’s no cause for concern: you can immerse yourself in a wide range of subjects first. You also get to use all your technical and programming skills: we want to learn from you, too! Would you also like to dedicate your talent to the leader in responsible investment?
