Olivetree Financial has appointed Fred Ward to boost its events driven sales team and consultancy skills for the buy side.
Ward will be responsible for advising both long-fund and hedge fund clients on how to navigate tough-to-model special situations.
He is based in London and will work across Olivetree’s clients globally.
Mark Kelly, CEO of Olivetree, says: “Bringing Ward on-board enables us to further hone our consultancy skills for the buy-side community, where we remain focused upon specialisms in a number of key areas where others’ models are unable to address; namely evidence-based finance and expertise in difficult to model situations.
Olivetree has enjoyed a significant time of growth and recently opened an office in Sydney. The firm offers global, 24-hour trading capabilities, as it develops into new geographies and new asset classes.
Ward said: “Olivetree’s market-leading event driven consultancy continues to grow at a rapid pace, and I am excited to be working with the Olivetree team to enable us to further penetrate non-traditional consumers of this product.”
“Helping the long-fund community understand inherited situations which aren’t necessarily trading on traditional fundamental metrics remains a core goal of the Olivetree model.”
