• Implement risk management strategies to minimize drawdowns
• 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
Role Requirements & Responsibilities
• 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
