Quantitative Investment Analyst - Credit

We're presently advising a top-performing hedge fund on its ambitious plans for growth as they look to expand in 2025. Following another year of excellent returns, our client is seeking to add talented individuals across numerous investment teams.

One key hire they're looking to make is to further strengthen their quantitative investment analysis capabilities. Working alongside the fundamental credit research, trading and portfolio management teams, this individual will form a key part of the investing process.

The role will focus on:

• Development of quantitative investment tools used for the screening of global securities
• Use quantitative techniques to analyse investment grade, crossover and high yield bonds, CDS, equities, etc.
• Identifying mis-priced securities across cash and derivatives, and developing L/S investment ideas for presentation to the portfolio management team

The ideal candidate will require:

• Significant experience of using Python, VBA, BQL, etc.
• A background of developing investment screening tools within credit markets
• Experience either on a leading credit trading desk, or on the buy side working with hedge fund strategies
• Detailed knowledge of investment grade/high yield bonds, index options, tranches, etc.

The role will suit a quantitative investment analyst - anywhere from Associate to Director-level - and with a demonstrable track record within fixed income and credit markets.
