Investment Management Operations
We maintain our position as the world's leading investment specialist by constantly looking to improve what we do and the technology we use to do it. As we expand our capabilities, move into new markets and locations, and foster new relationships, our Investment Management Operations team supports the people in our front office, and enables our business to work effectively and efficiently.
As the market develops we’re continuing to expand our product offering to include more complex asset classes, including derivatives. This provides a number of exciting new challenges for our Investment Management Operations team to ensure people in the front office have the support they need to make the most of these new products for our clients.
Fidelity’s fund managers, traders and analysts manage clients’ funds on a day to day basis. Working closely with these investment professionals, the Investment Management Operations team has a direct impact on the service we provide to clients. This team is involved in implementing fund strategies, driving infrastructure change, analysing and reporting on risk and performance of funds, directly supporting the trading desks, designing technology solutions and supporting all aspects of the research process.
