We are presently advising a well-regarded credit fund to identify an Investment Analyst for their London team. The fund benefits from a high-quality and stable LP base, and is led by a reputable and experienced investment team. The search is targeted at VP or Director level, though the fund is open to considering strong profiles on either side of that range.
What the role involves
- Conduct deep fundamental credit analysis across the full spectrum of credit, spanning investment grade, high yield, stressed, distressed and special situations, developing well-reasoned and independently held investment views
- Assess relative value and capital structure dynamics across a range of issuer types and situations, with a clear view on risk-reward, downside protection and potential recovery
- Build and maintain detailed financial models incorporating company-specific, sector and macro inputs, with particular attention to liquidity, leverage and covenant analysis in more complex credit situations
- Monitor portfolio positions and market developments, integrating new information into existing theses and flagging emerging risks or opportunities to the investment team
- Engage with management teams, advisors, and restructuring counterparties as required, contributing to a rigorous and well-informed investment process
- Present and defend investment ideas clearly and concisely to senior members of the team, contributing to a culture of rigorous debate and high analytical standards
Who we are looking for
- Investment professionals with strong buy-side experience investing in credit across the quality spectrum, from investment grade and high yield through to stressed, distressed and special situations
- Candidates from restructuring advisory or leveraged finance backgrounds with a clear desire to move into an investment role and a demonstrable ability to think like a credit investor
- A rigorous, first-principles approach to fundamental analysis, with the ability to form and defend an independent view on credit quality, valuation and capital structure positioning
- Comfortable operating in a lean, high-conviction investment environment where analytical depth and clarity of thinking are valued above all else
- Existing familiarity with credit documentation, restructuring processes, or leveraged capital structures is a clear advantage across all candidate backgrounds
