MeritKapital Expands Emerging Markets Bonds Team

Limassol, Cyprus, September 16, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Meritkapital Ltd (#77/06) is very pleased to announce a valuable new member of the firm's Emerging Market Sales & Trading team. Nathalia Ermolitskaya has more than 20 years experience in the Russian and CIS capital markets industry. Highlights of her career include the buildout of the fixed income desk at MDM bank (Moscow) through the establishment of a considerable, international client network but also in the development of the desk's product offering that ranged from origination to primary issue selling as well as secondary market trading. Subsequently, she held Directorship posts on the Emerging Markets Sales' desks of Barclays and BNP, (Moscow) respectively.

Nathalia forms a series of such talented industry hires which MeritKapital has sought to undertake. Earlier in the year, the firm hired Alla Kholodkova, also backed by a 7-year capital markets industry expertise. Alla was previously on the Sales & Trading desk of Credit Suisse (Moscow) where she covered Russian and CIS institutional clients that engaged in fixed income, swap and repo products. Her relationship with local Russian and CIS buy-side firms are an imperative variable to locking in optimal pricing and crossing flows with western capital markets.

Similarly, upon the firm's FCA license grant, affiliated firm MeritKapital UK Ltd (#720609), had recruited Oladimeji (Ladi) Oluwo who has built the Sub Sahara fixed income desk and successfully formed a foothold in the respective product offering. Ladi's most notable previous posts include his experience at Renaissance Capital (London) where he accomplished a similar undertaking. In turn, Ladi's valuable local Sub Sahara institutional relationships also incorporate considerable value to the firm's international buy-side relationships.

MeritKapital will continue to strive for growth in the Emerging Markets fixed income space, the firm's niche area of expertise.
