Andrew Putwain: Can you introduce yourself and your role?
Mark Saunders: I'm the Head of the Financial Market Risk Team at Convex.
My team covers investment, credit, and liquidity risks. Those risks are quantified by the first-line teams – investment, actuarial, capital modelling, and treasury. Our role is to work with the first line to understand how they are thinking about risk, challenge their methodology, and ensure the risks are properly assessed and that the business understands them. We will then report the numbers to the board, along with our commentary.
We're primarily invested in the US market, with approximately 90% in US dollar assets. We focus on high-credit-quality assets, including government and corporate bonds, as well as some structured assets, with short duration.
