Here's what you'll be doing (Recruiter's Explanation): Listening to recorded calls and reviewing emails of front-office staff to check for any non-compliance or risky behavior in how they deal with clients. If you spot any issues, you'll propose corrective actions. Sometimes, the front-office staff might dispute your findings, and you'll need to reassess and defend your evaluation professionally.
To do this well, you'll need a good understanding of private banking products, such as: Unit Trusts, Structured Notes (e.g., Equity-Linked Notes, Credit-Linked Notes), Dual Currency Investments, Bonds, Equities, Accumulators / Decumulators, FX and FX derivatives, Discretionary Portfolio Management (DPM) services.
