An opportunity has arisen within TwentyFour Asset Management LLP (“TwentyFour”), an award-winning fixed income boutique of the Switzerland-based Vontobel Group, for a portfolio management role, specialising in high yield analysis and trade ideas generation within our Multi Sector bond team.

The position will be based at TwentyFour’s office in the City of London, with hybrid working in place to reflect how our people work best.

With over £20bn under management, the firm has grown rapidly since inception in 2008, and prides itself on a collaborative and team-based approach. The firm’s culture is client-focused and committed to delivering performance, with an emphasis on idea generation and a collegiate dynamic.

The Multi Sector bond team are looking for an investment professional to complement the existing team with a focus on high yield companies analysis.

  • Help the team develop relationships with high yield traders and analysts on the sell side
  • Assist with client reporting and presentations
  • Perform detailed ESG analysis on issuers

The ideal candidate should have a minimum of 5 years of experience in European high yield markets and should be able to contribute to team discussions and investment decisions immediately.

Requirements

  • A solid academic background. CFA designation or equivalent would be advantageous
