Roles and Responsibilities

Sales analysts help maintain relationships with institutional investors and match our services and products to their needs. You will work with Trading and Research teams to provide comprehensive client coverage, provide marketing ideas and help initiate transactions. Sales analysts are placed in a Commodity, Credit, Emerging Markets, Equity, Foreign Exchange, or Rates product group.

Trading analysts help senior traders cover institutional accounts and make markets in your group's products in Commodity, Credit, Emerging Markets, Equity, Foreign Exchange or Rates. You will help manage risk, liquidity and exposure and may support pre-trade analysis, research on index constituent changes, inbound and outbound trade processing and the design of optimal strategies for large trades.

Structuring analysts help create customized investment strategies using conventional cash and derivative credit products. You will learn to structure complex products in unique ways and will use creativity to come up with new products to match the needs of clients.

Can you do this?

We're interested in academic performance as we're looking for intelligent people, but we're also keen to stress that we are not limited to this. It doesn't matter what your major is, as long as you have the entrepreneurial spirit, and self-confidence to impress and influence colleagues and clients alike.

As an Analyst, you'll need confidence, resilience, energy and perhaps most importantly, a genuine belief in your own abilities. We are looking to employ a wide range of people, from highly numerate and analytical problem solvers to strong and persuasive communicators and relationship builders.

Sales & Trading teams are populated by extremely bright people and specialists of all kinds, but no person or team functions in isolation. The origination team needs a stream of refined and tested products, traders rely on researchers to help identify opportunities and sales people require the knowledge provided by the researchers and strategists in order to be convincing. There's a strong team ethic where individual strengths combine to ensure that the total is greater that the sum of the parts.

It's about acquiring information and communicating it across the firm and markets. It is about thinking laterally, about being flexible and about working with an ever-growing number of people in ever-changing combinations.

As an Asia Pacific operation, we value language skills very highly. It is important to have a good command of English, preferably supported by competence in a language of the region.
