I recently started working with the credit strategy team, which has been a great experience. Our clients have become more cross-asset focused over the past few months, so it’s important for us to be knowledgeable about other markets outside of our core focus. It’s been a steep learning curve, but it’s been really interesting to get exposure to a side of the business that I had very little to do with before.

One of our main challenges is trying to come up with new, fresh ideas that get people to pay attention. There’s a whole lot of research out there, and we need to find a way to make what we write stand out. We want to be original and differentiated and ultimately come up with recommendations that help our clients make money. That’s not always easy!

One of the most rewarding parts of the job is to have an out-of-consensus call and be correct. It’s not something that we want to pat ourselves on the back about, but having a strong track record does help create traction with clients.
