Bond analysts are high on the wanted list in Asia
Article Abstract:
Bond analysts are edging out bond traders in the employment race in Asia. Unlike in Europe and North America, credit analysts are relatively new members of the bond business in Asia, which is still in its infancy. The reason behind their demand is the rising number of financial institutions that are in need of trained analysts to study Asian credits. Financial executives hope that credit analysts can identify undervalued bonds which have the potential to make money.
