Okay, so I have an interview coming up with one of the managers with U.S. Bank for a mutual fund administration position. I want to do as much homework before the interview as possible, so that I could increase my chance of landing this (from what I can tell) awesome entry-level job.
According to a few online sources I will be: Calculating NAV of funds, pricing securities at current market value, preparing semi-annual and annual reports to shareholders, and preparation of SEC filings/reports, among other things. If anyone here has experience working in this type of setting, I was wondering if you could give me some inside info on what a job as a mutual fund administrator for a company like U.S. Bank might entail, what are some skills that I can touch up on before the interview, and what are some things that the hiring manager might want to hear? I have done some of my own research on the website and on google, but would really appreciate the insight of someone who has been there and seen it first hand.
Should know about the internal rev code, various regulatory forms, forecasting and analyzing and general IRS and SEC rules
Could you elaborate on that a little please? What parts of the internal revenue code would they expect me to know? And which specific regulatory forms?
Go to that company's website and download a copy of one of their Mutual Fund Prospectus. Read the general sections and one or two of the specific fund sections. When you come across something you don’t understand, research it so you do understand it. Do the same for an Annual Report. I bet the majority of the needed knowledge base is within those documents. Best of luck.
