Play a leading role in the review and negotiation of ISDA Master Agreements, Credit Support Annexes, Global Master Repurchase Agreements, Prime Brokerage Agreements, and other trading documentation to ensure appropriate risk mitigation, collateral protection, and close-out rights.
Prepare annual credit reviews and periodic risk assessments covering performance trends, portfolio exposures, leverage, liquidity, investor concentration, organisational changes, and broader market developments impacting counterparties.
