The Broad Markets Fixed Income team unites the expertise of single-sector research and trading teams across the Morgan Stanley Investment Management fixed income platform to identify what they believe are the best opportunities in fixed income. The team develops both benchmark awareness and more flexible strategies by relying on the experience and expertise of its global professionals to establish top-down views and themes combined with bottom-up input for security selection. ESG is also a key consideration in the team’s investment process, since they believe there is a correlation between ESG best practice and bond performance.

The Vice President of Portfolio Management will be a key member of the Global Multi-Sector Investment Team, directly supporting the portfolio management team while contributing broadly to the team’s fixed income investment process. This individual will help ensure global multi-sector portfolios reflect the investment team’s views and are managed to pursue strong risk-adjusted returns, while meeting client objectives and investment guidelines. We are seeking a naturally curious individual who will develop a deep understanding of the differing views across the fixed income sector teams; spanning macro, credit and securitized, providing recommendations for investment decisions based on those views and ensuring those views are appropriately implemented in our global multi-sector portfolios.
