Eaton Vance vs other Boston AM Firms
How is Eaton Vance viewed compared to other Boston AM firms like Fidelity, Wellington, etc...? And how is comp, exit opps, b school prospects compared to those firms as well? Any thoughts would be really helpful. Any insights specific to fixed income would be good as well.
My perspective is from the equity side with post MBA roles, but Eaton Vance is generally viewed to be a notch below Fido, Wellington, and MFS. Perhaps the associate programs are viewed more similarly (I have no idea), but there is a notable difference in overall reputation. Still a solid shop, but most would rank it after the other large Boston AMs.
Just curious but I'm interested to hear about why you would rank MFS on the same level as Wellington or Fido.
I wouldn't...MFS would be a tick below Wellington/Fidelity but still closer to those two than to EV imo
Thanks!
Happy to provide info, i think AMs should really be judged in the context of the group you'd join not by the firm name itself. Would also note that EV is soon to become MS IM.
Which group are you considering?
- Overall thoughts on the merger?
- Will it help or hurt those working at EV/MSIM from a career standpoint?
- For the combined MSIM/EV, does that put them in a similar "tier" to the Fidelity/Wellington/Pimco/TCW (if this is too broad, maybe just for the fixed income teams?)
-No thoughts right now, it's being pitched as a distribution synergy
-Brandwise....they're both well known firms. to the extent you'd want to exit, i'd guess MS is a more broadly known name?
-as i said earlier, thinking of AM firms in tiers is a pretty foolish exercise. Should think about it in terms of groups. EV is well known for their systematic and FI groups, MSIM is known for equity
I’m thinking of the fixed income group. If you want, I can PM u the exact group within it if it would help. This is for research.
Sure go ahead
