ADM Investor Services International 2014 - presentMonument Securities 2008-2013 & 1996-2004Insinger de Beaufort 2004-2008Analysing and forecasting the impact of macro / microeconomic trends on asset markets; examining and where necessary challenging market psychology; making trading and asset allocation recommendations for a varied client base: proprietary traders, investment and hedge funds, family wealth managers, commodity & energy producers & traders, shipping/freight, as well as offering on demand advisory services A regular guest on TV and radio stations around the world, widely quoted on newswires, newspapers and digital media. I have spoken at a broad range of conferences on topics relating to financial and commodity markets, economics and geopolitics, and give occasional lectures at universities, and welcome invitations to speak at either. Beyond traditional analysis of FX, rates, credit, EM and the broad array of asset markets across the globe, I have a particular interest in the fluid and often fickle nature of financial market views of economic and geo-political developments, as well as being a well versed student of the distortions afforded to markets by positional risk, regulations and capital adequacy requirements. The joy of working as a economist/strategist is, and has always been the constant need to research and learn about the changing landscape of how the world works, going far beyond the limited scope of economics and financial markets; be that in respect of how globalization and technology has and is transforming nearly all aspects of communication, culture, energy and how we interact with each other and the environment on all levels. The key challenge is to enable and facilitate an in-depth critical and lateral thinking perspective on how this impacts global asset market trends, flows and developments, and to convey ideas in terms that are accessible, enthusiastic and hopefully inspiring.
