Head of Front Office Advisory Services - Ievers Consulting

Bio

I am a seasoned industry professional who has always had a passion for investment - whether it be trading correlated markets, strong yielding real estate or sourcing a classic car that will increase in value - I have practical experience of all these areas and can advise on strategies.

I am currently working as the Head of Front Office Advisory Services for a niche consulting firm based in Los Angeles, California, USA, where I am involved in various projects for global clients, be it a Asset Manager on the east or west coast or an Hedge Fund out of London. My main responsibilities involve managing projects including front office / middle office / accounting platform upgrades and advising clients on new products / trading strategies / markets for opportunities.

I started my career on the sell side mainly in US investment banks, sharpening my skills in fixed income futures trading within the world of derivatives. I have since moved to the buy side, most recently at JPMorgan Asset Management, where I was involved in cross-asset derivatives strategy for the global desks.

I have worked both in the front and middle office in my career, therefore I can advise on both trade life-cycle alongside trading strategy and relative value arbitrage trading opportunities in the market. I can also provide deep knowledge on operational functions in terms of clearing/confirming trades and associated reconciliations.

I hold product knowledge across the various derivatives including exchange-traded (Futures and options) alongside OTC products such as bilateral and cleared interest rates/credit products and am overs in a range of investment platforms including but not limited to: DTCC, IceLink, Advent Geneva, CME Clearport, ClearVision, Reuters, Bloomberg.

I also hold practical expertise in investing outside of work including real estate and cars that have appreciated in value! I am a HMO property investor specialist whom can also offer advise on real estate investment strategies too.
