Hi guys may I please seek some advise on below role. Is this a role in between portfolio management and sales, leaning towards product specialist? How should I prepare for this role? Understanding credit fundamentals or bonds pricing mechanism (e.g. convexity/duration) or bonds investment strategy such as carry trades, barbell trades, etc? I wanted to prepare more on the technicals. I lack a bit of experience with FI Index, anyone can give some colour on this product?
