Structured Products: how to prep for interview - What can they ask?
Hi!
I have an interview for an intership at Structured Products department of Deutsche.
I was looking for some guides like vault's guide to ib, but couldn't find anything useful.
So what would you recommend to prepare for this interview? What can they ask?
Technical questions, market understanding, information about their assets...What is the most important thing there?
Heelp!
Yeah, IB interviewing guides probably won't be very helpful - structured products are a whole different animal. Unfortunately, "structured products" can mean a lot of things, and a bank the size of deutsche will have several groups dealing with products that could fit in that category. Do you have any idea what asset classes they cover/do you know of any transactions they've done? would be a lot easier to help you with that info.
I think the most important thing is to give a compelling explanation about why you want to do structured products - that will put you ahead of 90% of the idiots they interview.
I know that this is X-markets division of DB. Among asset classes equity, fixed income, commodities. They work with Equity Derivatives, Structured Products, Certificates, Warrants, Knock Outs.
If I'm not mistaken, db-X markets structures retail product. I think you're looking at ETNs and various non-exchange-traded structured notes. I.e., those "principal protected 100% upside participation notes" that nobody ever should buy.
In which department do they structure products for institutional clients? So that you don't need to explain how option works to a retail client. This db-x markets platform is entirely retail...
Structured Cedit Sales Interview (Originally Posted: 05/19/2008)
Does anybody know what to study in preparation for a Structured Credit Sales Interview? I have read about Credit Default Swaps, CDOs, Credit-linked notes and total return swaps. What else should I know?
Anyone have first-hand experience?
To begin with is this a first interview and do you know who will be sitting at the table? Also who is the dealer?, primary or boutique? It depends on some factors but mainly the above. Ill try to help you out. Also what is your background within structured products?
Analyst Position - Structured Assets Interview (Originally Posted: 03/23/2015)
Over the last few weeks I've had phone screens and fit interviews, all over the phone, with an investment management company out of Minneapolis. I found out recently I'll be having a technical phone interview with the Head of the structured assets fund this Wednesday.
I was wondering if anyone could help me with what I should be practicing/what I should expect. I've had a few equity research and merchant banking interviews but I have feeling they were much different than this upcoming interview. Anything helps.
