How technical is a role at a Private Debt fund? I’m curious if there is a large focus on the more technical elements of bonds like duration, convexity, valuing embedded options etc. Having a better understanding of the day-to-day would likely go a long way in answering the above as well - TIA

Entirely depends on the funds strategy. Definitely a fair bit of technical trading but I’d say that’s much more common in public debt where there’s much more liquidity. If you’re doing private debt, the focus will be much more on business fundamentals and the terms of the debt rather than bond duration. Would also imagine most private debt will be dealing with term loans which are much simpler.

There are certainly some technical elements to it, but I wouldn't stress about it too much. Do you have any skills/experience with tech trading? If not, be honest. It's definitely something that can be taught as long as you have other desirable transferable skills.
