Ronald Neumunz, head of a specialized team marketing fixed income, foreign exchange and derivative products in emerging markets to hedge funds and private banks at J.P. Morgan Chase in London, has joined investment consultant LJH Global Investments in London. Neumunz takes the new position of managing director, heading up the firm's first European operation.
Neumunz, who had previously worked at J.P. Morgan but was with Chase Manhattan at the time of the two firm's merger, said he left to pursue a better opportunity at LJH. The new office will help LJH better meet the growing alternative investment demands of clients, which include wealthy families, high-net-worth individuals, money management firms and institutional investors throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa, according to a spokeswoman. Calls to J.P. Morgan were not returned by press time.
