Susquehanna Financial Group Names Trevor Mottl as Head of Derivative and Macro Strategy

NEW YORK, June 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Susquehanna Financial Group, LLLP (SFG), the institutional broker-dealer member of the Susquehanna International Group of Companies (SIG), announced today that Trevor Mottl has been named the firm's Head of Derivative and Macro Strategy.

"Trevor joined us last year as our Head of Derivative Strategy and Market Intelligence.  In that role, Trevor has been highly impactful with our clients. The combination of Trevor's multi-asset class background and his experience on the buyside made him the ideal person to assume this dual responsibility," said Nick Wood, Head of Derivative Sales.

"Along with expanding Trevor's responsibilities, we are creating an internal 'macro think tank' to serve as a powerful and highly collaborative solution to this critical role. Core to our model is our belief in the importance of synthesizing every disparate variable that may impact the investment process for our clients," said Cory Carlesimo, Head of Equities.

Mike Towey, Director of Research, added, "Because derivative strategy is so core to our fundamental research product offering, we think Trevor is uniquely positioned to collaborate with our fundamental analysts to create a more integrated macro and derivative strategy call -- a view that we think will be more useful to clients because it will deliver more of what clients need -- a fundamental view and a perspective on risk and volatility."

Prior to working at SFG, Trevor spent three years at Goldman Sachs, where he was a Vice President in the Equity Strategies Group, structuring and marketing equity derivative transactions. Prior to Goldman, Trevor spent three years at Merrill Lynch on its fund-linked Derivatives Trading Desk. Trevor started his career at Credit Suisse First Boston in New York where he spent five years as a Trader. Trevor holds a Sc.B. in Biochemistry, with honors, from Brown University.
