Fixed income writer with a focus on emerging market debt

Managed and delivered the key investment messages to clients and the press, supporting Heartwood’s multi-asset class investment capability. Wrote a wide-range of commentaries - market briefings, thought leadership insights, macroeconomic analyses and the Chief Investment Officer's quarterly letter - all of which captured the investment team’s views on the global macro-economy, equities, fixed income, commodities and alternatives. The Investment Insights regularly featured in the financial press, often stimulating interest for placed articles. Working closely with an external PR agency, we ensured optimal press coverage to support the Heartwood brand, issuing reactive comments to market events where appropriate.

Authored thought leadership articles for institutional clients and media contacts globally. While I wrote content for both T. Rowe Price's fixed income and equity capabilities, I specialised in creating written materials for the firm's global fixed income strategies, covering global sovereigns, emerging market debt and corporate credit. Between 2000 and 2008 I also managed the client reporting relationship for T. Rowe Price's Japanese joint venture partner, Daiwa SB Investments, working closely with both the investment management and marketing functions to provide timely, high quality investment content to support the firm's Japan-based mutual funds.

Staff writer for the publication "IDS Pensions Bulletin" and "Pensions in Practice."

After obtaining the Series 7 and Series 63 (registration on the New York Stock Exchange), I supported two stockbrokers with client transactions and account management.
