The individual will work in partnership with fixed income product strategists, sales, global marketing, and other key stakeholders to support and position the comingled and SMA strategies. This will include working on presentations, marketing materials, RFPs, white papers, commentary, reports and respond to internal and external queries. The successful candidate will possess a basic understanding in fixed income and the US and global securitized market, including the major sectors, and the role these markets play for investors and the US and global economy. The successful candidate will also possess a very good understanding of the needs of the broad spectrum of client types. In addition, a firm understanding of market trends, global economics and monetary policy would be a plus. Finally, the candidate must have exceptional communication skills and the ability to form trusted relationships and work across the organization.
