𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗛𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 The Credit space has seen an uptick in hiring activity over the last 12 months, as our hedge fund & asset management clients have poured money into credit strategies. One area where we are seeing particularly strong demand is for Credit PMs/Research Analysts with expertise in 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗬𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 (𝗛𝗬), as well as 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 & 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱. This is due to a number of factors, including: • Higher for longer interest rates & inflation • Global geopolitical events creating uncertainty in the markets • Increased focus on distressed & special situations investing, as investors seek to capitalize on the opportunities created by the current market environment This is good news for high-calibre candidates with the relevant skills and experience within these areas, and our outlook for credit hiring within HY, Stressed and Distressed for the coming 6 months remains positive. However, competition for these roles remains fierce and we are seeing a candidate-driven market. This means that if you are a PM/Analyst covering HY/Stressed/Distressed and considering a move to a leading hedge fund or tier-1 asset manager, it remains essential to stand out from the competition, as the bar remains high. Candidates need the appropriate skills & experience and ideally a multi-year track record demonstrating outstanding investment performance or strong and quantifiable contribution to pnl. At Laz Partners, we are always open to having a conversation to discuss the next step in your career and to share insights on the latest trends & developments within credit hiring.

'No story to tell' I've heard from more than one fund salesperson this week that they know peers in this position. In fact the first time I heard this phrase was 2022. That's a long time with nothing to say! Of course, sectors go in cycles but we are still in a time when a number of active asset managers do not have a good news story. If so, it must be demoralizing. They'll have been little in bonuses - fairly perhaps - but not for want of defensive effort handholding clients. Will we see more looking to pivot into private assets or passive? On the flip side, we could be near a tipping point. A little good news, rate cuts, and clients will re-risk. One person speculated that when that happens, not only will it put flows back into asset managers' coffers, but will support (or inflate) asset prices as that money floods back in from money market funds etc. Maybe that's a reason to get back in now (I would be saying if I worked in fund sales).

We are looking to expand our referral partner and direct business client list. Clients want someone who can navigate the complexities of finance, especially asset finance. Unfortunately, many clients hold back from asset finance because they find it too complex. That's where Wright Asset comes in. We make asset finance straightforward, so you don't have to. Connect with us to join the dots and see how we can help your clients. #assetfinance #businessfinance #randdtaxcredits #commercialfinance

Fascinating discovery today. There is a stigma around asset finance brokers. We’re either from 1978 and still use paper applications & drink scotch out of a warehouse or; we’re low doc monkeys who couldn’t read a financial document to save our lives. Let me just put something in perspective for you. We can finance ANYTHING with a serial number/vin number (sometimes assets without it.) EACH asset has a certain policy around it. Let’s say we have 180 products & policies x 3 different tiers and levels for each policy. Thats 540 products and policies that we need to know. The kicker? Asset finance is about SPEED to SOLUTION. So we need to know it well enough to be able to figure it out within the hour. That’s the expectation.
