Lucror Analytics has appointed Graeme Arnold as Senior Analyst, based in London, while Peter Low joins as a Credit Analyst, based in Singapore.
Arnold will oversee a portfolio of European High Yield TMT credits; he will also work closely with the team in Singapore to strengthen research and help communicate ideas across the company’s platform. Low will focus on supporting members of the European High Yield team based in Singapore.
In Lucror’s view, interest in independent credit research continues to grow as investors seek alternative views and more in-depth analysis. This interest has been driven to a degree by a broad range of investors seeking stronger returns in the high yield market.
Arnold comes to Lucror with considerable experience. Most recently he was employed for 14 years by Aberdeen Asset Management and Deutsche Asset Management, where he specialised in the Telecoms, Retail, and Consumer sectors. His career commenced at National Westminster Bank as a graduate in 1984. Low joins from KPMG, where he worked in the audit division for three years, covering companies in various sectors, including manufacturing, trading and investment holdings.
An Englishman, Arnold holds a Bachelor of Business Studies degree from the University of Westminster and is an Associate of the Chartered Institute of Bankers. Low, a Singaporean, holds a Bachelor of Accounting from Nanyang Technological University and is a member of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Singapore.
With their addition, Lucror’s research team now comprises nine persons, with further plans to add two analysts in the New Year.
Dr Felix Fischer, Lucror’s Global Head of Research, comments:
“The addition of Graeme and Peter will provide us with the necessary capabilities to continue expansion of not only our coverage universe but also our analytics. In Graeme, we gain someone who knows the history and European debt market dynamics inside out, and his expertise will bring structure and weight to our company process. Peter provides a much needed resource in not only working with senior analysts but also helping to maintain our new website that now contains a wide range of analytical tools.”
