  As Portfolio Manager I was in charge of listed Credit Bond investments. We were investing directly in European corporate and financial bonds. Additionally, I took part in the fund selection of Credit Bonds, Bank Loans and Private Debt. My job required deep knowledge of the target companies and their industry, and also understanding of the global macroeconomic situation. Finding the best corporate names and instruments to optimize Etera’s portfolio required also great teamwork and communication skills.
