We have partnered with a leading global asset manager looking to hire an experienced High Yield Credit Portfolio Manager for their successful and growing high-yield franchise (approx £5bn AUM).

Our client has an excellent culture, low employee turnover, and we have completed over 20 front-office hires for them (mostly within fixed income) over the last 3-4 years.

This hire is part of their exciting growth journey, with multiple recent high-profile senior hires across their fixed income/credit teams globally, as well as continued plans to add further portfolio managers and credit analysts across various investment teams.

  • Collaborate closely with Credit Research & Trading teams across the firm in London and globally
  • Contribute to the development of long-term strategies for expanding and optimizing the HY portfolio range


Requirements & Qualifications:

  • At least 5 years of direct risk-taking experience as a PM or Co-PM in HY credit, with strong attribution to performance
  • Familiarity with US HY markets, including sector trends & capital structures (ideally from running portfolios with at least 25%-30% exposure to US HY Credit)
  • Proven experience managing Global High Yield Credit portfolios, while working closely with credit analysts & trading teams
  • Proven ability to manage portfolios trading across the HY spectrum (including experience and confidence trading CCC/B names)
  • Strong understanding of credit fundamentals and advanced risk management frameworks
  • Experience managing through periods of market stress (ideally multiple credit cycles) is considered a plus
  • Strong communication & presentational skills
