• What is Taher Khan's job title?

  Taher Khan is a
  Anglo-Swedish investment professional in London since 2003, with experience in active investments and market risk management. To me, investments and risk are the flip sides of the same coin, namely portfolio construction. I have worked for hedge funds, pension funds, insurance firms, asset managers, family offices, investment banks, and exchanges. I was one of the top fund managers during the financial crisis in 2008 with my global macro fund, and one of the first multi-asset long-short UCITS funds. As a risk manager, I have weathered many a storm, from the 2008 Financial Crisis, to the Euro Crisis, to Brexit, to the Chinese collapse, to multiple Oil crises, to Covid, to the recent Inflation surprise and Bond Crash. I am a quant. I studied quantitative finance at The Wharton School and The Stockholm School, with some PhD work in empirical finance and financial econometrics. I have developed systematic investment strategies and quantitative risk applications throughout the course of my career. I take pride in developing new methodologies, new strategies, and in general new ways of looking at things. I am international. I am an American-educated British, Finnish, and Swedish citizen born to Indian/Persian and Finnish parents with a Chinese wife calling London home for more than a decade. Born global macro. I have a passionate interest in looking at countries and figuring out what makes one better than the other. And how they really don't matter when common factors dominate. I have a signature style in active investing, I call it Principle Driven Investing. It involves scoring a country's asset classes based on investment principles, and then taking net positions that reflect the aggregate view. I have a signature style in risk management, I call it SHED: Sizing, Hedging, Exposures, and Diversification. These are the principles of a risk process that enable assembling positions based on the Value at Risk, Sensitivities to Risk Factors, Stress Testing, and Marginal Contributions to Risk that a position or strategy contributes to the overall portfolio. It involves using risk budgeting as the optimal way to express views, and then communicating the risk profile to explain the commitment to a view, rather than vice versa. Allianz Global Investors
