Oddly-paying hedge fund hires Jefferies’ Romeo in London
Moving from a bank to a hedge fund is a pretty easy decision to make for most people. Most of the time, that decision is made by a trader – sometimes, however, it’s made by an analyst.
Giacomo Romeo joined Qube Research Technologies (QRT) last month as a fundamental research analyst in its energy team. He spent five years at Jefferies before that as an energy analyst and managing director. He was in Macquarie’s oil & gas team for eight years prior.
Romeo is a widely-cited analyst, with his words in places such as the Namibian Sun, one of Namibia’s most prominent daily tabloids. His 4.57 score on analyst benchmarking site TipRanks puts him in the top 10% of Wall Street analysts. Romeo’s ratings have generated an average of 10.6% per year in returns.
QRT is an interesting place to go these days. Its growing its team of fundamental analysts, only around 10% of its staff are portfolio managers, and its pay structure is not tied to individual performance but rather the fund’s performance as a whole. Communistic, yes, but also Jane Streetic.
