With offices in New York and London and plans for expansion into Switzerland and Asia, StormHarbour expects to apply analyzing, structuring, distributing and originating fixed income securities across asset classes for its sophisticated pension fund, hedge fund, endowment, insurance, banking and corporate clientele.
The firm intends to leverage its partners’ experience in fixed income markets to broad innovative solutions to clients in the areas of sales and trading, product structuring, advisory services, capital markets and asset management.
The firm’s services will span fixed income multiple asset classes, including the full range of credit, emerging markets, securitized product, convertible and alternative asset securities.
