Liat Loren Zwillinger

Certified Risk Manager, Hedge Funds Specialist
Givatayim

Summary

Over 20 years of investment experience, focusing mainly on the alternative assets space. Responsible for various aspects such as: financial and non-financial risk management, due diligence and compliance of mainly- hedge funds, private equity and traditional long only managers like: Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds. At Gems I was provided with the invaluable opportunity to be part of building a small (5 persons) financial research team into a large (25 persons today) fully departmentalized research office and growing the AUM from $200m to $1bn. I think that the experience I gained from helping build out the various departments, and helping to develop formalized research methodologies in an industry which itself was very much in the development stages, was both unique and exciting. At Migdal I established the alternative assets department from scratch along with developing tools for quant analysis, statistical, risk management and regulatory oversight. Organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet company’s goals. Pursuing full-time senior managerial role that presents professional challenges and leverages interpersonal skills, effective time management, and problem-solving expertise.
