What's a Credit Risk Analyst exactly?
Hello, undergraduate here trying to understand the role. Why is there a division between Corporate, Emerging markets, Financial Institutions? What's the real difference? Which one is closest to LevFin? What do you do on a day-to-day? How do you interact with LevFin exactly? Who holds the model? Is there boring work? Do you also run stress tests (like Basel III kind of stuff)? What are the hours like? The pay reduction?
Any insight would be appreciated, trying to learn here. Thank you!!
I'm so glad you started this post, I was thinking the exact same thing! God bless you
damn bro I don't think people know about this group

Never worked on a LevFin desk but interact with them from the private credit side - they source deals from issuers/sponsors who are looking to raise capital for whatever reason, most often an LBO or to refinance their existing cap structure. If the bank has a BS then they can underwrite the whole deal and then syndicate or in the case of MM/club deals they will market the deal to a selection of lenders that fit the credit box. A lot of diligence work/marketing materials, both on the underlying business as well as the cap structure/financials - feel like its not a ton of modeling as that's more for the sponsors/lenders.
To me you have 3 groups: (i) LevFin Capital Markets (close to markets), (ii) LevFin Origination (do the actual deals and prep marketing materials, DD, etc.), (iii) Credit Risk (they are the ones that do extra modelling, determine covenants if there are any or any legal protection and give the final OK for the deal).
You desribe the 2nd option I believe, but do you know anything about the 3rd by any chance?
My understanding is that within Credit Risk, you can specialise in an industry group (e.g. industrials) and thus be exposed to LevFin deals.
