SUMMARY: An Intern is responsible for assisting with various projects within the department he/she is assigned to at Stride. Essential functions may vary from administrative, clerical and support level work to more hands-on tactical work as determined by business needs.
The intern position will initially focus on modernizing investment income forecasts and cash-level projections for the company. In FY24 Stride Treasury is projected to manage and earn $25M in investment income. Cash flow forecasts from operations will be inserted into the Clearwater (CW) income forecasting system to supplement principal balance and income projections using forward treasury and credit curves as well as other reinvestment assumptions.
Income Forecast is an automated post-trade tool which integrates with core Clearwater data to help further analyze book income and yields, reinvestment income, accretion/amortization, realized gain/loss, and interest income. Investment professionals unlock an amortization forecast that is consistent with the same amortization models used in accounting records. This provides reconciled, up-to-date information to support efficient and strategic analysis and planning.
The intern position will manage the implementation of the Clearwater "insights module." The insights module is a benchmarking and analytical tool used to identify portfolio asset allocation performance compared to a personalized peer universe using CW's 1,260 client portfolio database, 13,000 users, 100 asset classes, all with $6.4T loaded in the CW system.The tool breaks down peers by asset allocation, credit exposures, duration, interest rate risk, overall yield, and other variables to help understand why the clients portfolio is over or under performing its peers. The results of the analysis will show Stride where we can improve to reduce risk, increase yields, and provide senior management empirical data on how well we are managing short-term cash investments.
