Herrmann, who joins State Street Global Markets as a Senior Fixed Income Strategist based in Boston, will report to Michael Metcalfe, Global Head of Macro Strategy. He earned his doctorate in mathematical economics from Cornell University, specializing in non-linear dynamics, economic growth, business cycle theory and monetary economics. He brings more than 15 years of experience as a forecaster of US macro-economic and employment growth and trends to his new role. Herrmann was previously the president of Herrmann Forecasting LLC, a consultancy focused on providing value analysis and forecasting real-time events.
Prior to founding Herrmann Forecasting, Herrmann held a number of senior interest rate strategy positions at Wall Street firms including Merrill Lynch, IDEAglobal and Rabobank.
The market volatility of the last two years has only underscored the value of providing fact-based, independent research to our institutional client base, says Jeremy Armitage, senior managing director and global head of research for State Street Global Markets. We are pleased to welcome John to the team. His fixed-income research capabilities and extensive experience in macro-economic and interest-rate modeling will complement our global research offerings based on investor behavior.
State Street Global Markets is a known leader in innovative research and I am proud to be joining the team, says Herrmann.
