What sets Garda Capital Partners apart
Garda runs one investment strategy, fixed-income relative value, with more than $12 billion in assets under management and roughly 220 professionals across eight offices as of April 2026.
The firm was formed in 2016 when Jeff Drobny and Tim Magnusson led a buyout of the relative-value fixed-income unit out of Cargill's Black River Asset Management (Wikipedia); the same founding team has managed this book continuously since 2003. Offices sit in Wayzata, New York, Palm Beach Gardens, Scottsdale, Geneva, Zug, Copenhagen, and Singapore. For an early-career applicant this is a single-strategy specialist rather than a multi-strategy pod shop or class-based graduate scheme: open seats appear individually as research, trading, valuations, or engineering roles when they arise, so applying here trades the breadth of a rotation program for depth in one fixed-income book.
