Sill was previously a director in the equity research group at Credit Suisse, which he joined in 1996. He was the primary analyst for the land and offshore drilling sectors between 1996 and 2001, and subsequently the senior oilfield services and equipment analyst up to this year.

Cavu seeks to maximise returns on the long and short sides using bottom-up primary research, an opportunistic trading strategy and disciplined risk management.
