Job DescriptionRole Overview
NInCred EM Multi-Strategy Credit Fund (IEMMSCF) is an emerging market credit hedge fund with a strong Asian bias, managed by InCred Global Wealth Pte. Ltd. — a MAS-licensed entity based in Singapore. The fund invests in performing debt obligations of EM and Asian borrowers, trading a broad set of instruments spanning investment grade and high yield bonds, CDS, TRS, interest rate derivatives, credit ETFs, futures, and performing private credit loans, working with a prime broker and 20+ trading counterparties across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific.
