Program Description & Responsibilities:
The Strategic Advisory group is one of the most experienced teams in the industry, and has been involved in some of the largest, most complex transactions in recent years. Our global team focuses on a diverse set of industries, including technology, media & telecommunications, energy, power & utilities, industrials healthcare and real estate.
As a First Year Analyst in the Structured Products group, you will have the opportunity to work directly with large financial sponsors and corporate clients on transactions across industries and capital structures within the structured fund finance (e.g., collateralized fund obligations, rated feeders, etc.) and asset-based finance (e.g., ABS, joint ventures, forward flows, etc.) asset classes. Responsibilities in connection with the role include but are not limited to:
Analyzing capital structures and cash flows models
Facilitating due diligence on prospective and active client mandates
Creating presentations and memoranda to present to clients and internal parties
Preparing investor materials across all transaction structure and legal-related matters
Coordinating complex and time-sensitive transaction processes with clients, investors, rating agencies, and external legal counsel
Monitoring of financial and securitization markets and industry trends
Active involvement in client-facing situations
Ongoing investor relationship development and management
Participation in talent development efforts, including recruiting
Upon completion of training, Analysts will have the opportunity to participate in all aspects of pitches and live transactions.
