Quilter Cheviot said today (11 November) it has hired Maurizio Carulli as an equity research analyst.
Carulli (pictured) will take on responsibility for the global energy and materials sectors, covering listed companies from the oil majors, to mining, chemicals, paper and packaging, building materials and steel companies.
He joins the business from Carbon Tracker, an independent financial think tank that analyses the impact of fossil fuels, climate change and the energy transition on capital markets. Prior to this he has worked in asset management and stockbroking for thirty years as an equity analyst specialising in the energy and materials sectors.
Carulli will report into head of equity research, Chris Beckett, and also work closely with the teams that manage the Climate Assets funds and the Managed Portfolio Service Building Blocks funds.
Spanning direct equities, fixed income and funds, Quilter Cheviot’s 22-strong research team also provides analysis for the firm’s investment management team to build diversified discretionary client portfolios.
Chris Beckett, head of equity research at Quilter Cheviot, said: “Maurizio brings an impressive array of experience, having worked as both an equity analyst and being involved in more sector, policy and thematic pieces while at Carbon Tracker. This insight will be invaluable for our investment management team and their clients, giving an in-depth viewpoint on the trends emerging from the energy and materials sectors.
“With the energy transition and environmental and social factors still receiving intense focus, it is vital we understand how the companies in these sectors will perform, where the opportunities lie and importantly the risks to client capital.”
Carulli added: “Quilter Cheviot has impressive research capabilities, and I am delighted to become part of the team. The energy and materials sectors have had a volatile five years, and as such I want to be able to cut through that noise and provide our investment managers with insightful and detailed research.
“Given these sectors’ roles within the energy transition, both the opportunities and the risks are vast and likely to change in very short periods of time. This is a very exciting time to monitoring the sectors and providing research.”
