Billy Tran

I am currently a FX and Rates Risk Hedging Analyst at Kerius Finance and I am currently looking for a new professional opportunity related to Market Finance in Geneva.

Thanks to my Bachelor's degree in Bank, Finance and Risk management and my Master’s degree in Market Finance from Université Lumière Lyon 2, I was able to acquire knowledge on financial products, financial market logistics and computer coding, which help me to have operational skills and a global understanding of financial markets. Specifically, I am passionate about market finance, and I want to evolve in that field. 

My work experience and background, made up of positions in various sectors, have fostered many of the competencies I consider imperative for this role. My position as a Middle Officer Derivative Products at NNS Luxembourg from November 2020 to February 2021 was a great opportunity to challenge my academic knowledge with a professional experience in a family office. I reconciled and validated the daily trading activity on derivative products, equities and bonds. I also performed reconciliations between the banks and the internal system on positions, valuation, and cash, and I coded VBA macros to automate the analysis of breaks. Through this experience, I considerably improved my analytical and programming skills. From April 2021 to December 2022, I worked at CACEIS Bank Luxembourg as an OTC Derivatives Officer. At the job, while dealing with clients and counterparties on a day-to-day basis, I managed and executed the instructions for OTC derivative products such as swaps and options. I also analyzed and resolved cash and booking discrepancies and manage OTC derivative products’ cash flows. This position allows me to deepen my knowledge on derivative products. I currently work at Kerius Finance as a FX and Rates Risk Hedging Analyst. In this position, I must conduct analyses to propose hedging solutions on interest rate and foreign exchange risk to our clients. At the same time, I must assist them in their transactions with the banks' trading rooms during the implementation of hedging solutions and I have to perform the valuation of their hedging portfolios. I also had previous positions in various sectors: indeed, I have several jobs in catering and sales when I was a student, which allowed me to resist to heavy workloads and to develop my communication and sales skills. My professional experience in the United States gave me the opportunity to evolve in an international environment.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you are interested in my profile. I am at your disposal to discuss my skills and work experience in detail.
