During my time, I created a systematic approach to tactical asset allocation by integrating technical, fundamental and economic indicators into signals for risk premia attractiveness. I further developed the backtesting framework in R, which we used for testing new investment ideas and simulating client requests. Additionally, I developed a markdown-based system to consistently present internal research and covered the entire operational value chain, including instrument selection, generating orders, rebalancing, fx hedging and risk management.
