Key Responsibilities

Research, select, and monitor fixed income investment managers, with emphasis on evaluating investment process, team, philosophy, and performance

Present recommendations to investment committee and other internal stakeholders

Conduct manager due diligence meetings, preparing focused agendas, identifying inconsistencies between stated process and portfolio positioning, and producing clear, committee-ready meeting notes and recommendation memos

Strong knowledge or interest in fixed income markets

Quantitative competence with the ability to translate data into actionable investment conclusions
