Citi CMO Asset Based and Transitional Finance

Can anyone provide detail on what this desk does? Also, possible exit ops after the Associate level?

"The Asset Based and Transitional Finance Group is responsible for originating, structuring and syndicating asset based loans and DIP financings.

Responsibilities:
•Coordinate the development and drafting of all marketing presentations and offering documents across a variety of groups both internally and outside the firm
•Manage internal credit approval drafting and processes
•Quarterly and annual credit analysis for a portfolio of non-investment grade names over a wide range of industries
•Assist in sourcing, analyzing, pitching and approving restructuring finance opportunities.
•Aid in the development of numerous presentations to corporate and financial sponsor clients which describe and help develop various financing and capital structure"

Thanks.

CMO is a product group (bonds, loans, equity, derivatives etc) and IBD is a coverage group (real estate, financial sponsors, healthcare etc) (except for M&A, Financial Strategy etc). So if a healthcare company is to issue bonds, the healthcare IBD will work with bonds desk to issue debt. As to who does what, that depends on the group, but usually the IBD folks do the Company level modeling and product group models stuff important to them (covenants, structure, scenarios etc). Some groups such as the real estate finance group do a lot of deals with no IBD involvement. For example if Blackstone were to acquire a portfolio of assets and needed financing on that, the RE group would work on the deal start to finish. Same goes with a CRE CDO issuance, warehouse finance, single borrower securitizations etc.

thanks a lot, that was helpful!

 

LevFin will be a step ahead of the rest, but ECM and DCM traditionally don't place well in PE/HF. Citi is middle of the road for LevFin as well (JPM/BAML run the show), and if they aren't doing modeling (idk if they do), that doesn't bode wonderfully from either an experience or exit ops point of view.

 

believe Citi is in the same boat as GS / MS in term's of their Lev Fin team. Mostly pricing / terms. Very limited modeling.
