Amherst Pierpont Securities launches EM credit strategy, expands IG credit strategy with new hires

By Rebecca Melvin

New York, July 23 – Amherst Pierpont Securities LLC announced it has launched an emerging markets credit strategy and is expanding its investment-grade credit strategy.

Its EM credit strategy will be headed up by Siobhan Morden as managing director and fixed income strategist for Latin America. She joins Amherst Pierpont's expanding strategy team along with Daniel Bruzzo, recently hired as managing director and investment grade corporate debt strategist.

The senior-level additions enhance the firm’s longstanding emphasis on strategy, data and analytics to serve the firm's clients and support its growing debt trading businesses.

Morden will lead Amherst Pierpont's efforts to provide market analysis and investment strategy in Latin American sovereign credits, especially high-yield names. She brings more than 27 years of experience analyzing emerging markets debt, most recently with Nomura Securities International where she led the firm's Latin America fixed income strategy. She also has held senior positions at Jefferies, Royal Bank of Scotland and ABN Amro.

Bruzzo will lead the firm's investment strategy in investment grade financial services. He joins from FTN Financial Securities Corp., where he managed the credit strategies group and served as a strategist for 18 years.

Both Morden and Bruzzo report to Steven Abrahams, who is head of Investment Strategy at Amherst Pierpont, in New York.

The independent broker dealer focuses on institutional and middle-market accounts.
