Simon Smith is a Product Manager - Middle Office Services at J.P. Morgan. Colleagues describe him as "While at PAI, I worked with Simon on developing a portfolio management infrastructure for his team. This was one of five funds I provided support for, but Simon's team provided one of the most rewarding experiences. On every step of the way, Simon knew what he wanted; he adopted a hands-on approach to every detail to ensure added value from the perspectives of supplementary decision making tools, portfolio monitoring and risk management. He led the way in innovative thinking on his team and there is no doubt of the significant benefit he brought to the fund. We have since parted professional company and I have met a lot of characters in my subsequent roles, but few as engaging as Simon. We still keep in touch and I find him as enthusiastic and detail focused as ever, with an excellent grasp of the ever changing global macro issues - I would look forward to working with Simon again in the morning."
