Hi all
I will be interviewing at a fund for a head of strategy role.
What do you think are the the topics that should be top of mind for a head of strategy for a fund ?
Do these make sense
1)talent (in house or outsource to specific managers)
2)esg direct
3)new asset classes and ways to invest
4)digitisation of back office and reporting
5)value creation strategy for assets

Corporate or investment strategy ? Sounds like a bit of both 🤷‍♂️

Primarily corporate but investment mandate and new developments (new asset classes, risk measures etc) fall within its mandate. For instance strategy would say explore crypto as an asset class within these high level boundaries, the investment team would figure out how much and which specific asset

Might also include what sector to focus on, or even sub-sector and overall investment thesis, and how to link to IR function

Something about me is both a curse and a blessing - I can't ignore what is not clear, logical, aligned, and simple. Even if that means that I have to work several minutes or hours extra on a document or an email. Things bother me if they aren't as expected. Unless I understand something clearly, I can't let it go. This is what helped me excel at studies. At work, my obsession makes it hard for people around me. If people complain about me, should I just let it go or change my approach?
