Hi, I am Qi Wang. I’m the CIO for portfolio implementation and portfolio implementation includes data delivery, analytics, and empirical research in the portfolio solutions.

The vision for the group, obviously we want to make an impact on all the different levels of the investment process.

So they need to decide what data they acquire, how they curate the data and keep it to a uniformly high standard and then build specific modeling and trading strategies for the specific specialty desks. And then when it comes to portfolio solutions, it’s basically a cross functional group where we take all this input from the specialist desks and then we put everything together.

We already have very talented portfolio managers here with all kinds of backgrounds in every location you can think of, so I think that’s a unique strength of PIMCO given the breadth of our investment platform and deep talent pool. But we can always do better.
