Fixed income

The rigour of our research, collaborative investment process and focus on our clients, create a repeatable competitive advantage.

What we do

Feel passionate about becoming an investor and making a real difference to our clients’ future? Enjoy working as part of a team and taking ownership of your own work? Our Fixed Income team manages debt securities in a range of funds covering investment grade, high yield, emerging markets, hybrids, and money markets. You will have the opportunity to rotate across multiple teams to gain a holistic understanding of the Fixed Income investment process.

The team you will join

With a natural desire to learn, you will gain a deep, analytical understanding of the factors that go into making recommendations on behalf of our clients. You will have the opportunity to rotate across 4 different departments every 6 months:

  • Research
  • Trading
  • Investment Directing
  • Non-Core rotation

These rotations are designed to develop and nurture your skills, interests, and ambitions as closely as possible.

What I will be doing

You’ll gain a holistic understanding of the Fixed Income investment process by rotating across up to four departments - fundamental Credit Research, Quantitative Research, Trading, and Investment Directing. We’ll help you select the rotations that match your skills, interests and ambitions as closely as possible.

You will learn about our fund range and understand the commercial drivers of the different fixed income strategies. You will respond to client queries and act as the liaison between portfolio managers and distribution colleagues. 

You will evaluate the creditworthiness of issuers, analyse the risks involved and assess the value of their debt securities, ultimately contributing investment ideas and recommendations. You will do this through detailed fundamental analysis, incorporating ESG as well as financial factors, engaging with issuers and other relevant parties, and evaluating market conditions.

You will study market activity and monitor and execute trade activity on behalf of client funds where appropriate. You will use this to develop an insight into how market liquidity influences investment decisions.

You will have the opportunity to spend 6 months enhancing your skills and knowledge away from the core teams, to further your focus on additional elements of the investment process or specialist functions. You will work closely with your manager and the Programme-Management team to determine a rotation that offers you rich insight and development to grow your knowledge and expertise; these may be within areas such as Sustainable Investing, Quant & Systematic or Investment Risk teams amongst others

How you will be supported

On joining, you’ll be invited to attend the Early Careers Global Orientation and Investment Management Academy, where the content has been specially curated to set you up for success in your role! The IM Academy, designed and delivered by our own investment professionals, will provide a thorough introduction to our IM functions, and equip you with the technical knowledge, skills, and behaviours required to hit the ground running. 

We believe in the potential of our graduates and have designed a structured two-year programme to support your ongoing development. With each rotation you’ll be assigned a ‘rotation coach’; a member of the team (at times a programme alumnus!) who will provide 1.1 guidance on goals, strengths, and opportunities to stretch and develop your talents to their full potential.  Your programme manager and business sponsors will provide holistic support over your 2-year development journey, aligning your programme pathway with your longer-term career aspirations. You’ll gain professional accreditations through the CFA & IMC and have access to ongoing training targeting essential professional and technical skills either through the Academy Online, or our global suite of online learning tools.

What we look for

We’re looking for highly driven people with intellectual curiosity, ambition, resilience, commercial awareness, comfort with numeracy, and an absolute commitment to serving the best interests of our clients. We welcome applications from all degree disciplines and all academic achievements.

Thirst for knowledge

You will be intellectually curious and possess the ability and creativity to collect and analyse a range of information, then use it to make judgements on the prospects of industries.

Analytical skills

You will have the ability to undertake often complex research, interpret data and judge the merits of differing opinions, and form insights essential to ensure we make wise investments for our clients

Articulate & persuasive

You’ll need the tenacity and confidence to communicate your judgement on whether debt securities should be bought or sold and justify your thinking (often with imperfect information).

Learning & development

You will be highly valued here and your development is heavily invested in. Find out about the support and training you receive with your programme.

Final offer

Getting ready for your interview

We've collected advice from across the business to help you prepare for your success

Please remember that past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance, the performance of investments is not guaranteed, and the value of your investments can go down as well as up, so you may get back less than you invest. When investments have particular tax features, these will depend on your personal circumstances and tax rules may change in the future. This website does not contain any personal recommendations for a particular course of action, service or product. You should regularly review your investment objectives and choices and, if you are unsure whether an investment is suitable for you, you should contact an authorised financial adviser. Before opening an account, please read the 'Doing Business with Fidelity' document which incorporates our client terms. Prior to investing into a fund, please read the relevant key information document which contains important information about the fund.
