  • Learn and participate in the investment process, including idea generation, due diligence, portfolio monitoring, and and ongoing credit and risk assessment of portfolio holdings.
  • Stay current on market, industry, and company-specific developments that impact creditworthiness and portfolio risk.
  • Participate in cross-strategy learning opportunities with Structured Products, Investment Grade, Rates, and Trading teams to broaden exposure to securitized products, corporate credit, macro fixed income strategies, and trading and execution.

The Ideal candidate:

  • Ability to work in Madison, WI for an approximate 10-week period, beginning summer of 2027.

  • Excellent analytical, quantitative, and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret complex financial data.
  • Familiarity with AI tools and an interest in developing AI-enabled tools and workflows to improve research and analytical efficiency.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and familiarity with financial modeling; exposure to Bloomberg, Octus, S&P Capital IQ, Moodys Research, CreditSights, Pitchbook, or other financial tools is a plus.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to clearly articulate investment views.
  • Highly motivated, detail-oriented, and capable of working both independently and as part of a collaborative team.
