Intern Market Risk Modelling (m/f/d)*

Modelling means simplifying a complex issue in a way that the respective questions can be analysed quantitatively and answered with reasonable approximation.

Within the Integrated Risk Management (IRM) division, IRM1.2.2 is responsible for modelling financial market and credit risks. This includes developing and continuously refining methodology and models used to analyse Munich Re’s financial risks.

Munich Re’s investment portfolio exceeds €200 billion and is invested globally across a broad range of asset classes such as bonds, equities, derivatives and infrastructure investments. The central question of our work is to quantify the level of risk within this investment portfolio, a question that is crucial both for internal decision-making and external communication. Above all, it is an engaging topic that provides insight into many areas of the company, asset management and current financial market developments. The right tools are essential for generating meaningful insights, and we continuously improve and develop them as part of our work.

We are looking for an intern to support our team for a minimum of two months full time followed by two months part time with the possibility of extension. This role provides the chance to work on challenging and impactful topics being closely integrated within our team. We will support and guide you, and you will participate in our team activities. You will be able to apply your programming skills and to learn about numerous applications of financial mathematics to assets modelling and risk management. At the same time you will interact with interns and employees of other departments and gain insights in various areas of the company.
