Fisch Asset Management strengthens High Yield Team

Atish Suchak joined the high yield team in mid-September as Senior Credit Analyst

Fisch Asset Management, the Zurich-based boutique investment firm, is continuing to grow its corporate bond business, adding an experienced new analyst to its established high yield team. This move reflects the increased demand the firm is seeing for its credit offering.

Atish Suchak joined Fisch’s high yield team in mid-September. Philipp Good, CEO and head of portfolio management, said this of the decision: “The high yield bond asset class is steadily gaining in importance. Given that interest rates are persistently low, bond investors are looking further afield for alternatives that offer attractive yields. We, too, are seeing greater demand in our funds and mandates, whose assets amount to around CHF 1.1 billion in this segment at present. Last year, Kyle Kloc joined us at Fisch in the role of Senior Portfolio Manager. Now we welcome another top-calibre high yield specialist, Atish Suchak, who is bolstering the team as Senior Credit Analyst.”

Mr Suchak’s job will mainly involve the detailed analysis of firms in the high yield universe. Philipp Good remarked that Mr Suchak’s knowledge and experience will be very valuable to Fisch, especially in this research-intensive asset class. Looking ahead, Mr Good said: “We plan to further grow our activities and our capacity in the corporate bond segment. Therefore, we are still looking for more analysts for this team.”

Mr Suchak joins Fisch from Barings Asset Management in London where, on the high yield team, he held a position of primary responsibility for credit analysis and asset allocation for credit operations these past three years. Before that, he worked for several years as a credit analyst at Invesco Asset Management. Mr Suchak holds a Master’s Degree in Finance from the Cass Business School in London and is a CFA charterholder.
