Avp/vp, Quantitative Strategy and Performance

6 days ago


Singapore Temasek Full time

**Overview of the Performance Analytics Team**

The Portfolio Strategy & Risk Group (PSRG) helps to provide top-down guidance on our strategic direction and portfolio objectives. Within PSRG, the Quantitative Strategy and Performance Analytics (QSPA) team actively explore overlays and alternative portfolio strategies to enhance our portfolio returns.

Performance measurement and attribution: Within QSPA, the Performance Analytics (PA) team actively tracks the performance of our overall portfolio as well as certain sub-portfolios against a range of benchmarks and asset allocation strategies. We are also responsible for measuring, tracking, and attributing the performance of Temasek’s investment portfolio from both a bottom-up and top-down perspective, and when possible, identifying patterns and biases. We also try to correlate our performance with various exogenous drivers, including but not limited to macroeconomic variables/regimes, style and quantitative factors, and flows.

Actionable insights and “what if” strategies: Building on an understanding of performance drivers, the PA team uses quantitative techniques and empirical backtests to generate insights/propose strategies to improve investment outcomes, working with the CIO and Sector/Country investing teams. These insights and ideas draw upon internal and external research, standard and alternative data sources, and various analytics engines. The team actively runs “what if” (i.e., beyond simply “what is”) back-tests of potential investment strategies to delve into the alpha, hit rate, win-loss ratio, drawdowns (and other risk characteristics) of new investment strategies or value-adding tweaks to existing strategies.

Building analytical tools to share insights and signals: In order to efficiently share these insights, investment ideas, and return-predictive signals, the team also builds analytical performance dashboards for regular reporting to senior management and investment teams.
