2025 Investment Management Spring Co-Op Program - Fixed Income Emerging Markets Corporate Debt (Boston)

Boston, MA

Program Overview

Morgan Stanley Investment Management (MSIM) hires undergraduate co-ops to simultaneously contribute to and learn about various groups within our division. Co-ops spend six months fully immersed in their work and MSIM culture, resulting in an enriching and formative experience. The co-op role within MSIM is primarily a learning and growth opportunity, which does not necessarily correlate with full-time opportunities within the firm.

Team Overview

The Emerging Markets Debt team manages approximately $20 billion across a range of investment strategies. The team conducts fundamental credit research for companies domiciled in emerging and frontier countries outside the US and translates these fundamental views into investment ideas. Our research process weaves value-driven bottoms-up analysis with top-down macro views from our sovereign colleagues. We seek both long and short investments by using a variety of debt and equity instruments to execute our strategies. Our team is made up of highly motivated professionals with diverse backgrounds who complement our global perspective.
