US Credit Strategy 101 feat. Dominique Toublan

1h 9m · Published 27 Apr 09:00

US Credit Strategy: how does it work, who are the players, and what are the career opportunities? Today we are discussing the structure of the Credit Strategy desk at an Investment Bank with Dominique Toublan, head of US Credit Strategy at Barclays Capital.

We discuss how you approach the vast world of corporate bonds and distill trends as a strategist, how you reconcile investor sentiment with supply/demand dynamics, and what role are you serving within the ecosystem of Wall Street. The US Credit market --- meaning, where corporate bonds trade after they've been issued --- is orders of magnitude larger than the US Equities market. Credit spreads, which are a measure of the riskiness associated with the debt of an individual corporate borrower, are a critical barometer of economic strength/weakness and investor risk appetite. Understanding these dynamics is essential not only to those who wish to pursue a career in credit strategy, trading, or sales, but also for those who wish to understand the Private Credit markets and the funding dynamics that influence deal making and investment on the Private Equity and Hedge Fund side of the industry.

50m · Published 20 Apr 09:00

So many finance hopefuls dream of a career in Private Equity. But what do you actually DO during your internship, starting out as a full-time Analyst, or as an Associate? How do those roles differ at a mega fund vs. a smaller firm? Are there advantages to starting out in Private Equity vs. doing a tour of duty at an Investment Bank or MBB consulting firm?

We sat down with Karina Petrunova, a current Private Equity Associate at Charles Thayne Capital, a lower middle market fund with a software & technology focus, to learn about her path to Private Equity. She shares the specific steps she took to secure her first Wall Street internship during her sophomore year, her junior year internship, and ultimately her role at Vista Equity (a $100bn+ mega fund) out of undergrad. Karina shares insight into the practices that made her a successful intern, analyst, and associate, as well as into her decision making process behind why she chose the firms she did.

If you are considering a career in Private Equity, or want to understand the journey that your friends and loved ones in the industry may be on, this episode is a MUST listen.
