Leading investment management firm is looking to hire highly skilled leveraged finance focused associate.
One of Europe’s leading investment management firms is offering the opportunity for an Associate level leveraged finance professional working on the sell side to make the transition to the buy side. As I am sure most finance professionals are aware assuming that you perform well a buy side role will significantly increase future earning potential and put people on the path towards taking full ownership of investments and managing your own book in the future. We expect the majority of leveraged finance professionals on the sell side to be highly interested in this position but it will be only the top performing associates from the tier one banks who have the chance of obtaining this role. This role should not just appeal to the large number of people who have recently been made redundant but would suit an exceptional analyst who has managed to retain their current role; this would make your profile more attractive. We are not discounting those affected by redundancy as we appreciate that there are some high calibre individuals who would fall into this category.
The main requirement for the position is exceptional fundamental value driven credit analysis. The group have a very large amount of capital (multi billion $) under management with in excess of $5bill dedicated to the credit side of the business which is split between several funds – CLO/CDO, pension fund, open ended vehicles etc. The team have a wealth of experience to share and are investing all the way through the capital structure so the successful individual will have the opportunity to gain exposure to everything sub investment grade. The team currently are not looking to make debt for equity plays but they do have a large equity side to the business so it may be possible to get involved with some equity work in the future. This position will challenge the best but in turn offer an analytical minded individual the chance to see the results of their work in the form of revenue produced for the fund. Regarding career progression whilst being a highly sought after position in its own right this role will also open a lot of doors that would previously have been shut to sell side credit analysts.
