Today we are bringing back Carissa Jordan, who was in our incredible episode about problematic female managers (episode 55). She was a credit trader at Goldman Sachs, and she’s here to give us our long awaited Credit Trading 101 episode. 

We discuss everything about credit from its conception and origination in IBD — the investment banking division — Debt Capital Markets, and the Syndicate group, all the way through to investment grade, high yield, distressed.

Carissa walks us through the lifestyle on a credit desk and gets into some of the nitty gritty mechanics of how these bonds trade.

We do touch briefly on CDS and CDX, but we'll do a deep dive on those in a future episode! 

This is also a GREAT resource for listeners of our other podcast, our unofficial companion to HBO Max’s hit show INDUSTRY, because understanding the basics of credit will help you understand a lot of the points we touched on in the episode we released yesterday!
