50: In conversation with: Madeleine King, Co-Head of Pan European Investment Grade Research

In this episode, we talk to Madeleine about her path from netball to new issues. Growing up in Lancashire, she studied Mathematics and Economics, before starting her career on the fixed income floor at Barclays. Having moved from investment banking to asset management nearly four years ago, she can no longer call herself a newbie. Madeleine talks through the changes she has seen so far during her time in the industry, including an increased collaboration with the Corporate Governance team on environmental, social and governance considerations.

Her best piece of advice for new starters in fund management? Don’t plan your career; just let it happen!
