Economist / Global Bond Strategist, Emerging Markets recruitment

Position Description:

Wellington Management is one of the world's premier investment management organisations. We are a global, privately owned firm that is 100% focused on managing money for institutional investors and mutual fund sponsors. We are headquartered in Boston with ten affiliate offices in the United States and around the world.

We have a diversified, balanced, and growing business. Our clients are based in over 40 countries - more than one third of them are domiciled outside the US - and in total they have entrusted us to manage in excess of US$650 billion of their assets. On their behalf we manage portfolios focusing on equity, fixed income, currencies, commodities, real assets, and active asset allocation, including hedge fund portfolios.

As part of the continued expansion of our fixed income investment capabilities globally, we are currently seeking to recruit a Global Bond Strategist (Economist) to focus on Emerging Markets. Based in either our London or Boston offices, this individual will be a member of the Global Bond Team and will play an important role in developing the team's macroeconomic strategy in Emerging Markets, with a particular focus on Latin America and EMEA. He/she will contribute to the management of a range of fixed income approaches for the firm's clients around the world. This will involve working closely with portfolio managers and analysts to assess investment trends and to help generate investment ideas that can be incorporated into portfolios.

The successful candidate is likely to be a trained Economist with 5+ years of relevant work experience. He/she will have demonstrable experience developing and communicating value-added macro strategies, either as part of an investment team, or as an Economist or Macro Analyst at a central bank. Experience covering international markets, in particular Emerging Markets, is desirable, although not essential. A strong academic background, including an undergraduate degree in Economics, is required. A post-graduate qualification in Economics is highly desirable.

Please note that we are only able to respond to successful applicants.
