The summer analyst will be introduced to high-yield and investment-grade corporate bond trading, structured product investing, credit research, portfolio analytics, and risk management. Time will be shared, and these groups will be supported in various capacities as needed. Within the program, you will work closely with portfolio managers and senior members of the research and trading groups to obtain a working knowledge of and take an active role in the investment process.

Summaries of the business units are below:
• Investment Grade Private Credit - Our Investment Grade Private Credit strategies include investments in corporate, private credit, infrastructure debt, and private structured credit issuers that offer portfolio diversification structured for asset-liability matching, managing over $91.3 billion as of June 30, 2024. We invest in credits whose transactions we believe are well structured, properly priced and have sufficient relative value compared to other investment opportunities.

Insurance Asset Management; IAM (Whippany, NJ) : MetLife Investment Management (MIM) was launched in 2012 to capitalize on our strong investment management performance for our General Account.
