Fixed Income Credit Analyst recruitment
Due to growth, we are seeking a seasoned Credit Analyst with significant experience researching and analyzing companies within emerging markets in the financial institutions sector. The Analyst will conduct rigorous analysis, due diligence to include travel to emerging market countries and meeting with management, author research reports, and most importantly interface with other analysts and portfolio managers to pitch and discuss relative value investment ideas. Given this position is focused on emerging markets, the Analyst will consider and understand macro economic factors when conducting analysis. This Analyst will be part of a broader research team and thus we seek an individual who is collaborative and can discuss his/her ideas and be open to others' points of view and who enjoys an intellectually stimulating environment.
Specific Responsibilities Include:
- In depth, bottom up credit analysis and due diligence
- Develop buy/sell investment ideas and discuss with Portfolio Managers and other investment professionals
- Act as subject matter expert on financial institutions within emerging markets and be able to discuss the broader, macro economic factors influencing the financial sector.
Requirements:
- 10+ years analysis covering emerging markets and financial institutions. While ideally, we are seeking an individual who has experience at an investment management firm, we are open to candidates who are currently working as an analyst at a rating agency, sell side firm, or perhaps a government research firm or organization dealing with the financial sector in emerging countries.
- CFA and/or Advanced degree highly desired. Advanced education in international affairs is seen as favorable. We are seeking an individual who has true interest and passion for emerging markets coupled with being a strong credit analyst.
- It is expected that the successful candidate will have travelled to various developing countries and regions and ideally will have foreign language fluency in one or more languages.
- A strong ability to take one's analysis and make investing recommendations. If a candidate is not currently at an investment management firm, s/he will have to demonstrate the ability to transition into an analyst who can make this type of decision and communicate it with conviction.
- The successful candidate will be intellectually curious and have a collaborative style. S/he will be an excellent communicator both orally and in writing. Finally, we are seeking a genuine individual with a sense of humor.
