Best Credit Sector Roles?

Question

What type of roles in the Credit Space are the most promising for the next 5-10 years? I’m interested in moving from credit research (2 years of experience) to credit investing.

I created an AMA a few months back - I currently work at a Credit Hedge Fund. I don't think AI/quants will heavily displace credit as much as equity. In public equity, all the financials are out in the open, its liquid, and you build strategies off of trading patterns/movements that AI/quants can displace. Liquidity is key in that market, when sh*t hits the fan, you can get out quickly. In credit, you do have a heavy docs negotiation and structuring element that requires a human to do. You also need someone to analyze amendments and agree to it if needed.

I am in a similar boat as yours (same role, slightly less time on job, HY). From my perspective, I think credit HF/LO, private credit, and special situations seem like the most possible options.

Research at Credit HF/LO might pay good money, possibly much better w/l balance but not sure how much of the market share would go to quant/AI (if it does) in coming years. I don’t think humans would be redundant but don’t know how much our contribution would be worth.
