Master Graduation Internship – Alternative Risk Premia in Den Haag - Den Haag

De (financiële) wereld is de afgelopen jaren ingrijpend veranderd. Mede daardoor is de verzekeringsmarkt continu in beweging. Met onze producten en diensten willen we bij Aegon mensen in staat stellen financieel gezond oud te worden.

Beschrijving

We are looking for a motivated MSc. student with an interest in financial markets who would like to explore “Alternative Risk Premia” (ARP), a highly relevant topic currently within the investment management industry. The research that you will be conducting will be important to our business and will be academically challenging. You will investigate the quantitative properties of ARP: How do they perform and why do they exist?  What do they add in a portfolio context? Moreover, the behavioral perspective is to be studied: what is the interaction between behavioral finance and ARP and how persistent are those relationships? Finally, the broader perspective is to be considered, such as the history of ARP and the viewpoints of academics versus market practitioners.

Additionally, you will have the opportunity from day one to join the multi asset team in numerous activities and meetings. As such, you can deepen your understanding of how we analyze financial markets, make investment decisions, develop new products and generally how it is to work for a large international investment manager that is part of the wider Aegon Group. You will be located at Aegon's headquarters in The Hague, the Netherlands.

You will be working under the direct supervision of the Multi Asset Team. The team is responsible for Aegon asset management’s long term financial outlook and the strategic asset allocation of mix funds on the basis of that outlook. Moreover, the team manages numerous mix funds on a daily basis, is responsible for the tactical overlay vehicle and finally also manages a dedicated listed real estate and commodity fund.
