Client: Global Asset Manager

Position: ESG Research Analyst

The Fixed Income’s investment process deploys a fully integrated ESG Framework, which guides a multi-jurisdictional team of credit research analysts as they assess all credit material ESG factors for each issuer they cover.

To the extent that such ESG factors represent significant risks and/or opportunities for an issuer, this is reflected in its fundamental credit rating. Additionally, the credit research analysts are responsible for assigning each issuer they cover a separate ESG impact rating. These are not risk ratings, but instead reflect the degree to which an issuer’s overall ESG impact is positive or negative for the environment and society.

Responsibilities include (not exclusive)

• Partnering with credit research analysts, economists and portfolio managers to identify and incorporate material ESG factors into their investment analyses and decision-making.

• Engaging with issuers on ESG issues, both individually and in partnership with credit research analysts and economists.

• Undertake thematic, sector & issuer-level ESG research across all fixed income asset classes and regions.

Qualifications and personal requirements

• Ideally between 3-6 years of experience in ESG focused positions within an asset management environment and demonstrate an excellent knowledge of fixed income asset classes & strategies.

• You must have experience of conducting ESG research at a sector and/or company level, and ability to assess the materiality of ESG factors for investment performance.

• Excellent interpersonal communication, stakeholder development and analytical skills with articulate written and spoken English language skills.
