Roubini Global Economics announced today the appointment of leading strategist Arnab Das as Managing Director of Market Research and Strategy. Mr. Das will be based in RGE’s London office. Under Mr. Das’ leadership, the Market Research and Strategy Group will provide research and advice to Roubini Global Economics clients.

“Arnab is an exceptional strategist, who is highly respected,” said RGE Chairman Dr. Nouriel Roubini. “He brings extensive experience in the financial industry, and has a deep understanding of how markets and asset classes are affected by changes in the global economy. Arnab is uniquely qualified to develop and manage our macro-driven strategy effort.”

Mr. Das joins Roubini Global Economics from Dresdner Kleinwort, where he worked from 2001-2009, and was most recently head of Emerging Markets Research and Strategy; Global Foreign Exchange Research and Strategy; and co-head of Global Economics and Strategy.

He then moved in 1996 to London, where he was responsible for Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa strategy.

“It is a privilege to be working side by side with one of the most influential economists in the world today and one of the finest independent economic research teams,” said Mr. Das. “I am excited by the prospect of building the finest possible top-down global macro/market strategy offering together with Nouriel and his top-notch team of economists. Our clients across the gamut of market participants — investment funds, private banks, family offices, central banks, sovereign wealth funds — have strong interest in this logical evolution of RGE. We’ll span global markets from the G10 to emerging markets, commodities, currencies, fixed-income, and equity.”
