Often it is assumed that Mid Office / Market Risk & IT's understanding need not be as detailed as a trader's understanding of financial markets. We beg to differ. As a mid office person you would be monitoring traders and ensuring that they stay within prescribed risk boundries. You will also be looking at systems , curve configuration, MTM, daily P&L & plethora of risk reports.
Market Risk too need to understand pricing, valuation, risk measurement and portfolio management of various instruments. Setting up of market risk limits and use of tools like VaR need one to have excellent grounding in pricing, valauation and portfolio management.
IT professionals work on system / or build system to enable pricing, valuation, risk and portfolio management. Business Analysts & Coders can not work with fuzzy thoughts. They need to know exactly how the business works. No wonder IT professionlas with such knowledge is highly sought after people across the globe.
