Religare Capital Markets Limited (RCML), the Investment Banking and Institutional Securities arm of global financial services group, Religare Enterprises Limited, is pleased to announce the appointment of Jason Todd as Global Head of Equity Strategy.
Jason joins RCML from Morgan Stanley where he was latterly their US and Global Equity Strategist, based in New York. Jason will underpin the group’s emerging markets equities platform through incisive analysis of factors driving the world’s most dynamic and complex growth markets.
Jason brings 15 years of global strategy experience to RCML, 12 of which were spent at J.P. Morgan. Initially working in his native New Zealand as a highly-rated Australian & New Zealand Equity and Quantitative Strategist, he then moved to the pan-Asian equity sales desk in London. Jason moved to New York in 2005, where he was primarily responsible for J.P. Morgan’s US and global strategy teams, a role he held for over two years before moving to Morgan Stanley.
Commenting on the appointment, Nick Holtby, RCML’s Global Head of Equities said; “I’m delighted to secure a global equity strategist of Jason’s calibre for RCML’s growing team, after a careful search for the right candidate. His sophisticated analysis of the macro-economic and fundamental drivers of emerging market equities will be a considerable asset to the team and our institutional client base.”
Jason’s arrival follows a string of senior appointments to RCML’s management team since Martin Newson’s arrival as Global CEO in late 2009. Recently, and still subject to regulatory approvals, RCML acquired Central Joint Enterprises, the Hong Kong-based ideas-led research platform trading as Aviate Global (Asia).
