Convertible Bond Analyst - $8bn+ Global Multi Manager Hedge Fund

Minneapolis, MN

Selby Jennings is partnering with a leading ~$8bn boutique hedge fund to identify an experienced Convertible Bond Analyst for its Minneapolis office.

This is a rare opportunity to join one of the most established and respected investors in the convertible securities market. Unlike many multi-manager platforms, the firm operates with a more centralized investment structure, fostering a highly collaborative environment and long-term investment approach.

Convertible securities represent nearly 50% of the firm's overall portfolio, making this one of the few opportunities where the asset class sits at the core of the investment strategy. The convertibles business is directly led by the firm's CIO, offering unparalleled mentorship and daily exposure to one of the industry's leading specialists.

With a lean and highly impactful team of just three investment professionals dedicated to the strategy, successful candidates will have immediate visibility, responsibility, and influence on investment outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct fundamental and relative value research across the global convertible bond universe, with an initial emphasis on US opportunities.
• Generate actionable investment ideas and present recommendations directly to senior investment leadership, including the CIO.
• Analyze capital structures, equity sensitivities, credit risk, volatility dynamics, and special situations within the convertibles market.
• Monitor existing positions and identify opportunities to optimize portfolio construction and risk-adjusted returns.
• Collaborate closely with senior investors on trade implementation, risk management, and portfolio positioning.

What Makes This Opportunity Unique

• Join one of the largest and most active participants in the convertible securities market.
• Work directly alongside the CIO, who personally leads the strategy.
• Significant exposure to decision-making within a highly collaborative investment culture.
• Opportunity to build a broad global perspective while maintaining a strong US focus.
• Clear and accelerated path toward capital allocation responsibilities, with the potential to begin running money based on performance.
• Highly visible role within a lean team where individual contributions can directly impact fund returns.

Candidate Profile

• 5-10 years of buy-side or sell-side experience with a specialized focus on convertible securities.
• Deep understanding of convertible bond valuation, equity optionality, credit analysis, volatility, and capital structure investing.
• Proven ability to generate investment ideas and perform independent research.
• Strong analytical, financial modeling, and communication skills.
• Demonstrated passion for the convertible securities asset class and a desire to develop into a portfolio manager over time.

This represents an outstanding opportunity for an experienced convertibles specialist seeking greater responsibility, direct mentorship from a renowned investor, and a clearly defined path toward managing capital within a highly successful hedge fund platform.
