James Forese

摘要

He started off at Salomon Brothers at a time of momentous change in the bond markets, one of the Glass of 1985 immortalised by Michael Lewis in Liar's Poker. Now James Forese is head of Citigroup Global Equities at a time of momentous change in the equity markets. He has no illusions about what is at stake: with pressure on volumes as well as margins, and against a backdrop of intense regulatory scrutiny of the entire industry, these are Darwinian days. "Quite literally only the strongest will survive," says Mr Forese. "The strongest will be the most efficient, the most automated; they will gain market share. And, in time, the weak players will be shaken out. As markets consolidate, we expect the leaders in the market place to gain a bigger share of the wallet."
