Credit Analysis: Corporate Banking vs Asset Management
What are the differences in day to day activities/analysis in credit research from a corporate banking point of view where the bank is looking to see whether a company is eligible for a loan vs. an Asset Management firm or investment firm when looking to invest in fixed income. What does each side look for in entry level analysts/in companies that they are looking to invest in? I have experience in corporate banking in asset based lending to smaller firms mostly looking at accounts receivable etc. and want to potentially switch to the buy side so I want to know what I can use from my experiences to leverage the switch and what similarities/differences there are.
