The role as EM Analyst will specifically help the trading desk to position risk and drive trade ideas. The trade recommendations will range from top-down market views, country specific views to relative value trade idea generation. The role will require detailed focus on a broad array of Emerging Market sovereign, quasi sovereign and corporate debt. This role is fast-paced, demanding and intellectually stimulating. The ideal candidate should have a combination of strong technical skills as well as commercial acumen. The successful candidate will enjoy contributing to a highly collaborative investment environment and will actively embrace the prospect of overlapping lines of idea generation. The ability to provide a point of view within an open investment dialogue whilst appreciating challenges remains of high value. Additionally, the successful individual must also have a global perspective and creative approach for thinking about innovation, and the evolution of investing and trading.
