Analyst
Being a Public Finance Analyst at
Citi
Public Finance Analysts are assigned to teams of
3 to 5 professionals who are responsible for covering a specific
client. Our Analysts work in specialized teams within the municipal
department including public power financing, not-for-profit
healthcare, low-income family housing, airports, infrastructure
financing, technical structuring, and local and state specific
municipalities.
Tasks of an Analyst may include:
- Learning a client’s historical financing trends. This could
involve researching past uses of debt or derivatives to finance
projects to provide bankers with overview of client’s debt
position.
- Participating with the bankers and clients in meetings and
conference calls to review current market conditions and formulate
future capital programs.
- Applying new financing, optimization and hedging strategies to
financial transactions based on the client’s financing needs.
- Working in tandem with the Credit and Financial Products Group
to obtain live pricing and structure hedging strategies to optimize
the client's plan of finance.
- Assisting in the execution of transactions. This will include
documentation, pricing, presentations to investors and rating
agencies, credit and internal approvals, policy compliance, client
entertainment and deal closing coordination.
- Researching market, credit, tax, regulatory, accounting, legal,
policy and issuer-specific issues relating to prior or future
transactions.
Initial Training
Your training starts with
orientation that gives you an overview of Citi and, more
specifically, the Institutional Clients Group. During this, you’ll
also get to meet people from the different teams that make up the
Public Finance Division and ultimately decide which team you would
like to join. You will be placed depending on your preference as
well as where we might need you.
After Analysts successfully complete the formal training program,
they join a Public Finance group.
