About 9fin

The world's largest asset class, debt, operates with the worst data. Technology has revolutionized equity markets with electronic trading, quant algos and instantaneous news. However, in debt capital markets, the picture is completely different. It still behaves like it’s in the 1980s; trillions of dollars of trades are placed over the phone, news is slow, and corporate credit information is imperfect and scattered.

Our mission is to change this. 9fin's proprietary technology delivers fast and comprehensive financial, credit, legal & ESG analysis. Our clients are able to make faster, more informed decisions, win more business and most importantly, save time.

Our fast growing list of clients include 9 of the top 10 Investment Banks, leading Asset Managers, Hedge Funds and Law Firms.

What you’ll work on

Every day is different, but here’s an example of the kind of things you’ll work on :

• Break News — Hunting down deals and uncovering private financings and scoopy trades. Peel away the layers and reveal the real motivations and drivers for transactions
• Meeting the market — You’ll build out a broad and deep set of sources within the thousands of people working in asset-based finance, securitization and private credit, cultivating relationships and becoming a key part of the information flow
• Spotting trends and writing features — You’ll zoom out from the dealflow to see the bigger picture and publish timely and comprehensive features on emerging issues and trends
• Cutting through the jargon — You’ll learn to parse a market that loves an acronym and become fluent in finance-speak, translating it into clean sparkling copy
