Investment Support Summer Analyst (Fixed Income) at solid AM shop vs Summer Analyst role at Ratings Agency?
Of the two roles which would be better for a buy-side grad role?
The duties of each are:
AM role
• Updating, maintenance and development of proprietary tools for top down market analysis
• Assistance with portfolio implementation
• Co-ordination with performance and marketing teams in production of materials for client presentations
• Responding to ad hoc requests from sales and client service teams
• Review of RFPs and other written material about our products
• Internal Reporting
Ratings Agency role:
The program is designed to immerse you in the day-to-day work activities and special projects of two different product groups or sectors. You’ll receive the exposure and foundational credit & analytical training that will provide an inside view that will help make longer term career decisions and will start building a foundation for your future professional development.
All feedback welcome
Tough call IMO and a good spot to be in. You'll probably learn more at the ratings agency, which would help you in future AM interviews. A lot of those middle office AM jobs can end up being a ton of menial administrative work, especially as a summer analyst. While it's great to get a big AM name on your resume, people will also be looking at your job title and responsibilities.
You're in a good spot either way but I would actually do the credit agency.
Definitely the ratings agency, I hear Moody's program is pretty good
