We’ll Count on You To:

Lead the corporates research team in conducting fundamental credit analysis of corporates in Mainland China/Hong Kong/South Korea/Japan/Australia and their $ bonds. Meet current and prospective clients to discuss and market CreditSights’ research products, in conjunction with our sales team. Collaborate with other Asia-Pacific credit analysts on common topics, such as sector-level analysis or relative value views. Manage and training junior research analysts. Interact with colleagues in our New York and London offices on research topics to ensure common views on market outlook and sectoral views.
