Macro trading expert joins Frontier
Barclays Investment Bank macro trading VP, James Bulfin, is returning to Australia to join Frontier's alternatives and derivatives research team.
Bulfin has spent the last five years with Barclays in Singapore. He spent nearly ten years with Goldman Sachs in Melbourne and Sydney; his final role as vice president and head of AUD bond and repo franchise.
"James' strong background in macro markets and portfolio risk management will be particularly valuable in discussions with clients on macro ideas in the area of derivative strategies", according to a statement from Frontier. Bulfin is one of several people appointed recently to Frontier.
Frontier Advisors CEO, Andrew Polson, said he is excited about the range of capabilities joining the organisation. "Our staff numbers have been growing strongly for some time and it's exciting to be able to start the year with some more highly credentialled people across our entire business.
"In particular, we are adding valuable technical depth and many years of experience to our sector research teams, which will deliver a lot of value to our clients. And, it's no secret we have ambitious plans to build our already strong technology capability out even further so it's pleasing to be able to add more bandwith in this part of the firm," Polson said.
