Do any consultancy firms do this?
Hi, I will keep this nice and short but I hope that someone will provide some insight.
- I am in a MO role that turned out not to be fulfilling. I joined Compliance thinking I would be working as a regulator/representing the bank to officials but that is not the case. There is an opportunity in government affairs (in-house of the bank) but that team is not hiring for the foreseeable year. Cuts!
2. I realised on my analyst programme that I wanted to execute trades, deals, help fund for clients in emerging markets. My ideal clients would be MoF, start/completing sovereign bonds, countries, governments, infrastructure projects etc. I want to meet these officials and really get the job done. Impact Investing. I know GS does this, but I don't know what division covers this. JP/MS have a division called sustainability/community development etc but that smells like green bonds. Sadly my interest is not the environment. -- THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO! + travel.
- I am moving into Finance for my next placement, which will be invaluable! After my graduate programme, I will be quitting compliance 1000%. Just need help to figure out what job does point 2. Any insight?
What you're describing is sovereign advisory, project finance, infrastructure finance and public finance. The reality is you won't be meeting any of the ministers as an analyst and it's very specialised. From a quick google Millstein, Lazard have sovereign advisory practices. Project finance is commonly the realm of big international commercial banks. Infrastructure isn't necessarily sexy for every Suez Canal there are 1,000 pipelines, container ports and toll roads. Public finance in the US does a lot of infrastructure deals, but they aren't necessarily sexy or new money (financing new projects). You may wind up refunding outstanding sewer bonds. Considering that you have a back office background (MO is legal, risk and the like) these jobs will be tough to break into. Network hard and spread a wide net,
What if I move into Finance? Treasury? Then try sovereign advisory?
