Internal Audits of Investments: Fixed Income and Credit Analysis

The credit analysis function is a key element of fixed income investment management, assessing the creditworthiness of issuers and ensuring sound investment decisions.

Within a fixed income investment team, credit analysts provide essential insights that drive portfolio construction, risk management, and security selection. Their analysis helps identify both opportunities and risks across a wide range of debt instruments, including corporate bonds, municipal securities, and structured products.

By delivering detailed credit opinions and recommendations, the credit analysis team supports the broader investment process, contributing to the optimization of risk-adjusted returns and the preservation of capital.
