  • Portfolio Management: Monitor the performance of existing assets and support the optimization of portfolio returns through active asset management initiatives.

  • Presentation Preparation: Prepare materials for internal investment committee meetings and external presentations to potential partners or investors.

  • Risk Assessment: Identify key risks associated with potential investments and assist in developing appropriate mitigation strategies.

Role Requirements:
