Tudor strengthens macro team with Mizuho strategist hire in Dubai
Macro hedge fund Tudor Investment Corporation has hired Mizuho Bank's former head of fixed income strategy, Jordan Rochester, as it continues to expand its investment capabilities in the Middle East, according to a report by Bloomberg.
Tudor Investment Corporation, a macro hedge fund, has hired former Mizuho Bank strategist Jordan Rochester as a fixed income and foreign exchange strategist in Dubai. This move is part of Tudor's ongoing expansion of its investment capabilities in the Middle East. Rochester, who leaves Mizuho later this year, had been with the bank for two years, where he bolstered its fixed income and currency research business in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Before Mizuho, Rochester worked at Nomura International, where he gained recognition for his analysis, particularly his "Mr Brexit" nickname following the UK's exit from the European Union. His expertise in macro and rates calls was further demonstrated by a successful short recommendation on UK interest rate futures during the onset of the US-Iran conflict.
This hiring further solidifies Tudor's commitment to Dubai as a burgeoning hub for global macro investing, following the fund's establishment in the emirate in 2024. Both Rochester and Tudor declined to comment on the appointment.
