Many of the firm’s senior management come from top tier sell-side institutions (including the Head of LATAM) and it is expected that this individual may well come from a credit trading or DCM background, or possibly from a specialist fixed income fund manager.
 

A detailed knowledge of the LATAM region will of course be essential and Spanish and / or Portuguese language skills will also be beneficial.

If you are geographically mobile and know the LATAM fixed income space well, this is a great opportunity to join a rapidly growing firm and work directly with senior level individuals who all share a passion for the fixed income emerging market space.
