Description

Job Type : Regular Full Time

Church Pension Group (CPG) is a financial services organization that serves the Episcopal Church, located in Midtown Manhattan. CPG was founded in 1917 to provide pension benefits to eligible clergy of the Episcopal Church.

The Church Pension Group (CPG) depends on investment returns to cover the full cost of the benefits, programs, and services we offer. Professionalism, diversification, and a long-term focus are critical to our success. Our investment professionals bring decades of experience, passion for their work, and diverse perspectives to their shared responsibility of overseeing CPG's investments. Specialized groups within the team oversee individual asset classes, regional investments, risk, and operations. All this experience informs our work selecting and monitoring outside investment managers and mitigating global investing risks. In building portfolios, we work with experienced external managers rather than selecting specific investments ourselves. We hold these managers to high-performance standards because strong, risk-adjusted returns make all our work possible.

The Risk Director- Investments will bolster the CPG Investment Department's ability to understand, monitor, and appropriately mitigate the risk inherent in the Church Pension Fund (CPF) portfolio, and to evaluate long-term and short-term tradeoffs between return and risk.

The audience for this work will consist, to varying degrees, of the Head of Risk, the CIO, and the broader Investments Department, and may sometimes include the Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees. Outputs will generally include both qualitative and quantitative elements and may be presented graphically, numerically, or in written form. As such, strong communication skills are essential to the role.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES include the following. Other duties may be assigned.

• Identify and measure sources of risk in the overall portfolio;
• Use capital market assumptions to project portfolio returns and volatility under various circumstances, including through scenario analysis;
• Track liquidity available in the portfolio to meet benefit payments and expenses, including through annual liquidity stress tests;
• Carry out regular rebalancing exercises to keep the portfolio in line with long-term asset allocation topics;
• Monitor leverage at the overall portfolio level and within individual outside managers;
• Conduct look-through analysis of the portfolio to understand holdings on granular level;
• Supervise performance reporting at the asset class and overall portfolio levels.
• Related tasks and responsibilities may be assigned.
• Effective performance of the essential functions of this position requires regular in-person, on-site interaction with colleagues, both for purposes of relationship building and meaningful collaboration.
