The individual we are looking for will collaborate with investment teams to apply the extensive resources of the Global High Yield strategies. The individual will have a focus on the US high yield bond market to generate alpha and in addition communicate ideas to the wider investment teams. We have a holistic approach to constructing Global High Yield portfolios combined with a fundamental credit research focus to ensure robust client outcomes. We follow a rigorous investment process to arrive at high conviction investment ideas with a strong emphasis on risk and ESG embedded in our process.

Skills and experience we’re looking for:

• Disciplined portfolio construction skills and risk assessment

• Experience marketing to institutional and financial institutional clients

• Capacity to build and maintain relationships with companies and other industry participants

In this role you’ll be ‘Certified’ under the Financial Conduct Authority / Prudential Regulation Authority’s Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR). This means that we’ll need to complete some regulatory background checks on you before you take up your role and we’ll need to ask you some questions on an annual basis to make sure you remain ‘fit and proper’ and competent to carry out your role. We’ll provide training on what holding a SMCR role means when you join us and annually thereafter.
