Fixed Income Associate Interview Questions

729 fixed income associate interview questions shared by candidates

Normal questions really. They weren't interested in prior employers investment process. An informal presentation on a company was required. You use their template, investment memo. They really a lot on excel spreadsheet models. Lots of reconciling numbers. They are NOT into the 80/20 rule. They aren't looking for a seasoned candidate that can bring new perspective(s) to the group, so don't try to impress them too much, especially with the trading of bonds and/or market technicals. Unlike other shops they aren't opportunistic. Very risk averse so don't go out on a limb and recommend a risky company that offers excellent relative value.
