Job description

Investment Analyst, PGIM Private Capital

A GLOBAL LEADING ASSET MANAGER WITH A DIVERSE & INCLUSIVE CULTURE

As the Global Asset Management business of Prudential, we’re always looking for ways to improve financial services. We’re passionate about making a meaningful impact - touching the lives of millions and solving financial challenges in an ever-changing world.

We also believe talent is key to achieving our vision and are intentional about building a culture on respect and collaboration. When you join PGIM, you’ll unlock a motivating and impactful career – all while growing your skills and advancing your profession at one of the world’s leading global asset managers!

If you’re not afraid to think differently and challenge the status quo, come and be a part of a dedicated team that’s investing in your future by shaping tomorrow today.

At PGIM, You Can!

What You Will Do

We are seeking a full time Analyst to join the Corporate & Projects Workouts (“CPW”) team in London. CPW is PGIM Private Capital’s dedicated restructuring team, managing over $1.0bn in assets that were originally underwritten by regional deal teams, but are now experiencing financial stress. The team works closely with borrowers, other lenders, and external advisors to maximize economic recoveries and support companies as they work through existing challenges. The team also underwrites protective investments if required, opportunistically purchases distressed securities in the secondary market, and provides consultation services to the regional offices.

With a footprint in Chicago, New York and London, the London team’s portfolio covers UK and European assets but works directly with the US based teams. As the underwriting side is industry agnostic, you will get exposure to a broad array of businesses and situations, from FTSE250 companies, to private family owned enterprises and mezzanine debt investments. The successful candidate will be one of three person team in London, so your input and responsibilities will be meaningful from day one.

Your Impact

• Assess business and financial strategy for portfolio companies
• Carry out financial analysis and modelling, including manual valuations
• Complete written memos for internal approval and monitoring purposes
• Coordinate with external parties effectively, whether senior management teams of portfolio companies, external lawyers or financial advisors
• Review supporting information and analysis for live restructurings
• Ongoing monitoring requirements for portfolio companies
  
  

What You Will Bring

• Relevant experience in finance, restructuring, private credit underwriting, investment banking, commercial banking or asset management. Direct restructuring experience beneficial, but not required.
• Minimum 2:1 undergraduate degree (all subjects areas considered).
• Excellent analytical and accounting skills.
• Strong writing, interpersonal and communication skills.
• Familiarity with the capital markets.
• A self-starter with the ability to manage multiple work streams and prioritize effectively, often under time pressure.
• Strong work ethic and flexibility – our team is split across times zones, so a willingness to manage this and meet the expectations of the role that come with this, is essential.
• Participation in the Chartered Financial Analysts (CFA) program is a plus.
• We know not everyone will meet 100% of the requirements, however we encourage you to apply if you think your skills are a good fit for this role.
  
  

What We Offer You

• Private Medical Insurance: PGIM offers private medical insurance and pays the full premium on behalf of all employees.
• Annual Leave of 25 to 28 days, based on years of service, at full pay.
• Retirement Savings Plan: Employees receive a company contribution of 10% basic annual salary and a maximum employer-matching contribution of 5% of basic annual salary.
• Life Assurance & Income Protection: Life Assurance for 8 times your basic annual salary, up to a max benefit of £1.8million. 75% of your basic annual salary for a limited payment terms of 5 years, at the end of which a capital sum of 2x your basic annual salary is payable.
