Hedge Fund: Structured Finance Credit Analyst (Ratings / Fund Finance)

Finna Group is looking for a Hedge Fund: Structured Finance Credit Analyst (Ratings / Fund Finance)

Job description

We are looking for someone capable of independently assessing the likelihood that a specific instrument or investment product will suffer loss.

This requires analysing, on a deal-specific and structural basis:

  • Structural protections
  • Subordination mechanics
  • Collateral quality and diversification
  • Cash flow waterfall
  • Legal isolation / bankruptcy remoteness
  • Covenants and trigger mechanisms
  • Recovery assumptions under stress scenarios

Examples of relevant investment products include:

  • NAV facilities
  • CLO tranches
  • Asset-backed notes
  • Rated feeder notes

The successful candidate would join the risk-scoring team and work closely with the Structuring team, while maintaining clear risk independence.

The responsibilities would include:

  • Assessing and clearly articulating to the Structuring team the likelihood of loss and structural vulnerabilities of certain investment products
  • Participating, in coordination with the Investment team, in discussions with Credit Rating Agencies where required, from a risk and methodology standpoint
  • Contributing to the development and enhancement of our internal credit risk scoring and rating models (as bandwidth allows)

The ideal candidate:

  • Has strong modelling experience (cash flow / stress / structural modelling)
  • Has experience in internal ratings advisory or structured credit risk
  • Understands rating agency methodologies and ideally has sat on rating committees
  • Has direct exposure to structured products such as NAV facilities or similar asset-backed structures
  • Is comfortable challenging structuring assumptions
  • Has a governance mindset rather than an optimisation mindset

Relevant backgrounds could include:

  • Structured product coverage teams at Rating Agencies
  • Rating advisory or structured credit teams at banks
  • Fund finance / NAV lending credit risk teams at banks with strong franchises
