Portfolio construction job anything, currently, management

hardwork24

Anybody working in portfolio construction can share about the day-to-day, goods and bads or anything worth knowing about this role? most interesting/annoying aspects?
I’m currently working in the asset management arm of a BB. I’ve been here for 6 months, starting as an intern. Now my MD is setting up a portfolio construction team (the role doesn`t currently exists as such in my location) and wants me in it. For now it would be just me and another -much more experienced- guy, so at least I know I would participate directly in every aspect of the job.
Any commentary will be appreciated.
