As a lesser known subset of credit, Munis having their best year in 10 years.
If you have any material to prep for a buyside FID (Blackstone, Neuberger, Blackrock, etc) would greatly appreciate it. Also have an excel test for one of these firms but no idea what their looking for, VBA? I’m assuming
tried to message you. can’t
The rates desk at MorganStanley (govts and swaps) has been a feeder to large hedge funds for years...the Rates Research group at MS has also been outstanding at relative value for many years...and has likewise been a feeder to large hedge funds. Desk heads at many other firms started trading rates at MS.
Which hedge funds, if you know? Just curious
can I pm you? super urgent

Structured credit trading prolly goes to DB. Structured credit banking/structuring goes to JPM.
What is the difference between the two btw? I've always thought of structured credit trading as a very structuring heavy job.
depends what bank/issuer you're at. The bankers usually do a mix of some structuring/analysis but don't get into the nitty gritty details and analytics of the structures that the quants do. They're still required to have a complete understanding of how the schedules are being paid out and in what order but they're doing more banking functions such as creating pitch books for securitization road shows or re-issuances.
Structurers work more closely with traders than bankers which is why I basically call them traders as well. The desks aren't like an equity or derivatives trading desks where you're pumping out dozens of trades a day. With structured credit, you're doing deep-dive analyses into the structures down to the individual/entity borrower so much so that you get an understanding of a city/town's (if mortgages) impact on the entire structure at differing scenarious for prepays and default rates being toyed around with.
