Manulife General Account Investment (UK) is Manulife's primary European office which sources private and public fixed income transactions across local markets. This office collaborates with Manulife's other corporate finance offices in Boston, Toronto and Asia (Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo) to assess and analyze transactions and advise portfolio managers across various geographies. Increasing Manulife's exposure to the European fixed income markets is an important part of the ongoing strategy.

Role and Accountability: Reporting to the Head of European Corporate Finance and working closely with senior members of the team , the successful candidate will function as a fixed income investment professional, assisting in the screening and identification of new investment opportunities and working towards the preparation and presentation of these opportunities and their merits to the broader investment team across geographies.

IA is expected to become knowledgeable about the various markets in Europe, as well as North America and Asia Pacific, across all the fixed income asset classes where Manulife is active. Public transactions will require daily interaction with wide ranging UK and European public bond bookrunners as well as multiple internal stakeholders.

Applying that knowledge the IA will work towards advising members of the broader group across Manulife offices on the merits of investment opportunities.
