We are presently advising a well-regarded credit fund to identify an Investment Analyst for their London team. The fund benefits from a high-quality and stable LP base, and is led by a reputable and experienced investment team. The search is targeted at VP or Director level, though the fund is open to considering strong profiles on either side of that range.

What the role involves

  • Conduct deep fundamental credit analysis across the full spectrum of credit, spanning investment grade, high yield, stressed, distressed and special situations, developing well-reasoned and independently held investment views
  • Assess relative value and capital structure dynamics across a range of issuer types and situations, with a clear view on risk-reward, downside protection and potential recovery
  • Build and maintain detailed financial models incorporating company-specific, sector and macro inputs, with particular attention to liquidity, leverage and covenant analysis in more complex credit situations
  • Monitor portfolio positions and market developments, integrating new information into existing theses and flagging emerging risks or opportunities to the investment team
  • Engage with management teams, advisors, and restructuring counterparties as required, contributing to a rigorous and well-informed investment process
  • Present and defend investment ideas clearly and concisely to senior members of the team, contributing to a culture of rigorous debate and high analytical standards

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
