Quantitative Developer

The Department

The Quantitative Development group, within Milliman's Financial Risk Management Practice ("FRM"), focuses on capital markets modeling, market-consistent valuation of assets and liabilities, quantitative risk analytics, and simulation analysis of risk management strategies. Systems developed by this group support trading functions within active hedge programs, and serve as calculation engines for stochastic-on-stochastic financial projections of hedge strategy performance.
