Roles & Responsibilities

**Company Overview**:
Fitch Group is a global leader in financial information services with operations in more than 30 countries. Fitch Group is comprised of: Fitch Ratings, a global leader in credit ratings and research; Fitch Solutions, a leading provider of credit market data, analytical tools and risk services; and Fitch Learning, a preeminent training and professional development firm. With dual headquarters in London and New York, Fitch Group is owned by Hearst.

Fitch Ratings is a leading provider of credit ratings, commentary and research. Dedicated to providing value beyond the rating through independent and prospective credit opinions, Fitch Ratings offers global perspectives shaped by strong local market experience and credit market expertise. The additional context, perspective and insights we provide help investors to make important credit judgments with confidence.

As a global credit rating agency, Fitch Ratings gauges the ability of entities and instruments to meet their credit obligations. Investors and financial market participants rely on multiple sources, and the credit rating - indicating how an issue or transaction is likely to perform over time - is one of their key inputs. In this way, we help investors map potential credit risks.

Fitch Solutions, a subsidiary of Fitch Ratings, provides a range of industry-leading products and professional development services to the global financial community. In addition to offering proprietary market-based content, it distributes the ratings, research and financial data of Fitch Ratings through a variety of flexible platforms. With innovation and experience behind every solution it brings to market, our offerings are designed to meet the diverse needs of the fixed-income markets.

**Department Overview**:
Fitch Ratings’ Corporate group provides public and private ratings of companies and their debt instruments, on both the international and national rating scale. Debt instruments include bank loans, senior and subordinated debt, commercial paper and preferred stock.

The Corporate ratings analytical methodology addresses the legal, regulatory and market environments in over 100 countries in which Fitch Ratings operates, with particular emphasis on debt structure. Corporates group analysts continually expand and deepen their research, combining industry expertise with the finest analytical tools to offer well-informed and timely judgments. Analysts are readily available and responsive to investors. Through our structure, our people and our process, the Corporates group provides broad coverage and exceptional service.

Like many groups within Fitch Ratings, the Corporates group places great importance on interaction with its colleagues around the world and other areas of the firm, such as the Sovereign and Structured Finance groups. This collaboration ensures a more comprehensive assessment of an entity's strategic initiatives, competitive position, financial performance and the overall dynamics of the industry in which it operates.

The Asia Pacific Corporate’s group has analysts in Singapore, Hong Kong, Sydney, Shanghai, Beijing, Jakarta, Seoul, Bangkok, Colombo, and Mumbai. There are four sector teams: Energy & Utilities; Telecoms, Media & Technology; South East Asian Industrials and North Asian Industrials. Additionally, there is a specialist APAC Research group based in Sydney and Shanghai that is responsible for cross sector thematic research in the region.

**Responsibilities**:
The portfolio of primary coverage can be around 10-12 entities in total plus back-up analytical coverage on a similar number of rated entities. The exact portfolio assumed will be tailored to suit the individual’s skills and experience as well as deal-flow, and is expected to grow over time.
**Experience, Qualifications & Skills**:

- A minimum of 7 - 10 years’ experience in financial analysis, preferably gained in a credit or equity research environment
- Past experience analysing property developers and Real Estate Investment Trusts is a prerequisite
- In depth knowledge of Environmental, Social and Governance clauses within green, social, and sustainable bond documentation
