  • Monitor market developments, earnings releases, economic data, and company-specific events, providing timely investment views and recommendations.
  • Generate and develop actionable trade ideas in partnership with portfolio managers, traders, and research professionals across multiple asset classes.
  • Build and maintain comprehensive financial models to evaluate credit quality, downside risk, capital structure dynamics, and catalyst-driven opportunities.
  • Analyse potential long and short investment opportunities by incorporating both company fundamentals and broader macroeconomic themes.

Candidate Profile

  • 4+ years of experience within credit research, fixed income investing or leveraged finance.
  • CFA qualification or progress toward completion is advantageous but not essential.

  • Comfortable making decisions and forming views in fast-moving market environments.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate investment ideas clearly and concisely.
  • Prior experience within an event-driven, special situations, distressed debt, or opportunistic credit strategy would be beneficial.
  • Self-motivated, intellectually curious, and able to manage competing priorities effectively.

What You'll Gain

  • Direct exposure to investment decision-making across a broad credit universe.
  • Opportunity to work alongside experienced investors and traders within a collaborative environment.
  • Significant responsibility and visibility from day one.
  • A dynamic role focused on generating alpha through fundamental and catalyst-driven credit investing.
