• Produce concise surveillance summaries that highlight performance trends and forward‑looking considerations to inform portfolio reviews; handle ad hoc surveillance requests as they arise.
• Partner with the ABF Deal Team to develop and standardize issuer reporting packages, closing gaps where current reporting is inconsistent or insufficient for effective surveillance.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate performance views clearly to portfolio managers, traders, research colleagues, and other stakeholders.
