“ We are dynamic, innovative and tech-driven, and this spirit is reflected within the team.”
TOBIAS STEIN, MD AND HEAD OF PRODUCTS AND
INVESTMENT PROCESS
Discussing his leadership style, Riemenschneider explains that he takes“ a very hands-on, generalist approach as a jack of all trades”.
Also on the desk is Matthias Rosenberger, equities trader, who oversees global equity trading as well as conceptual trading using FX and index futures,“ responsible for developing risk- and marketadjusted trading concepts, conducting transaction cost analysis, and monitoring trading strategies”.
Friedrich Hecker, equities trader, and Alain Muller, fixed income trader, round out the team. Hecker co-covers global equity trading across both emerging and developed markets, with on-desk coverage of European and US markets, while Muller is focused on IG credit across both secondary and primary markets.
‘ Sparring partners’ Addressing the split of responsibilities across the team, Riemenschneider is quick to point out that alongside the crucial importance of collaboration, specialisation is a key factor in the desk’ s success.
“ As interdependencies between asset classes have increased, specialisation has become more important. Each trader has a core area of expertise, but close proximity – both within the desk and with portfolio management – ensures continuous dialogue.
