LAS VEGAS, Nev., June 3, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Global Key Advisors is pleased to announce the appointment of Josh Schein as CEO. Josh brings 20 years of experience with statistically based portfolio management serving a client base comprised primarily of officers and directors of public companies.
Josh previously developed and ran the InsideTrack® portfolios at Morgan Stanley and predecessor Smith Barney from 1996 through 2014. The portfolios sought to quantitatively identify and track "smart" money while evolving to incorporate broader nonconventional public data sources.
Josh Schein states: "Global Key is an exceptionally credentialed team of skilled and experienced leaders from complementary backgrounds focused on a set of strategies unique to the industry. I am excited to be a part of it."
Josh will lead Global Key Advisors in managing several core equity portfolios aiming to compete favorably against index funds while providing broad exposure across global markets.
Josh holds a BA from West Virginia University summa cum laude and a JD from the University of Washington School of Law.
Global Trust Group and Global Key Advisors President and Chairman Robert M. Sigler states: "Our exceptional team has emerged from a lifetime of accounting, portfolio management, investment banking, private equity, venture, and quantitative market analysis. We and our clients have been disappointed with of the state of modern markets and investment services. Global Key Advisors has been developing practices and solutions built on innovation and solid research to address these issues in serving institutions and family offices seeking quality."
"Many traditional mainstays of investment management have changed to the point of no longer functioning as intended. Domestic and international market conditions have evolved to where tier one firms offer unclear value with resulting losses of brand equity and human capital. In our own work products we have quantitatively tracked a striking migration of top Wall Street talent toward smaller firms and private boutique models. The advent of high-frequency trading - which we began to identify, measure, and counter several years ago in our strategies - has made it increasingly difficult for most asset managers to add value. Consistently creating value is an art and a science requiring constant quantitative and fundamental analysis. With sovereign and corporate debt a less attractive counterweight to equities today, investors need alternatives more than ever. We are excited to have Josh on board to help lead our efforts toward this end."
