Macro Risk Advisors Expands Team And Offering In Energy Strategy

NEW YORK, Jan. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Macro Risk Advisors (MRA), a leading provider of global equity derivatives strategy and trade execution for institutional investors, today announced the expansion of its sales and trading team with the addition of Chris Kettenmann as Chief Energy Strategist. The addition of Mr. Kettenmann demonstrates MRA's continued effort to offer exceptional and timely analysis around risk and the market environment to institutional investors.

In this new role, Mr. Kettenmann will enhance MRA's product focus on energy, providing analysis, insights and actionable trade ideas across listed equities, options and underlying commodities.  He joins MRA from Prime Executions where he provided research and coverage of integrated oils, onshore U.S. exploration & production companies and select renewable/industrial stocks as Chief Energy Strategist.

"I am looking forward to working closely with the team at MRA to deliver energy focused investment ideas to our clients.  MRA's reputation as a leading provider of global market risk analysis made this a perfect fit for me," said Mr. Kettenmann.

As the price of crude oil plunged during the second half of 2014, MRA identified a need to help its clients distill the implications of lower prices on both an individual company and broader macro level. The addition of Mr. Kettenmann enables MRA to provide investors with critical insights on the factors driving energy prices and how financial market risk is impacted as a result.

"We are very excited that Chris has joined MRA, particularly at a time when energy has become a leading risk factor in markets. His work will add a new dimension to our macro product and will expand MRA's reach in energy focused accounts," said Dean Curnutt, CEO and Founder of MRA.

Chris previously ran energy research at Phoenix Partners Group and he began his career at Miller Tabak & Co. where he was an associate on the energy research team. He received a BA in Political Science from Carleton College.
