The group’s latest hire comes less than a month after Kate Leaman’s appointment as Avem Capital’s Head of Global Markets. 2017 has seen the group rapidly increase its personnel and focus in multiple areas, including marketing, analysis, and management.

Mr. Miley joins Avem Capital with over twenty-six years of experience across the financial services sector. In his new role he will serve as an integral component of its technical research capabilities.

Wide-ranging mandate

In addition, he will be tasked with multiple responsibilities, including the development of Avem Capital’s analytical team, continuing its metamorphosis from an FX trading focus to a boutique hedge fund. His hire will fill a need during the transition, which involves financial analytics as well as the group’s recently launched science and technology department.

Mr. Miley is a financial markets veteran, having worked for over two decades in the industry. His primary role was a lengthy stint as the Director and Primary Analyst at The Market Chartist.

Steven Jupp, Avem’s CEO, commented: “Onboarding a Senior Financial Analyst into our hedge fund is a position not to take lightly, especially with our current rapid growth. Having known, worked with and respected Steve Miley’s knowledge and dedication over the years, it was an obvious decision to welcome him into the highly skilled analytical team. We are all excited that he will be heading up the EMEA sector and our internal FinTech department.”

“I am pleased to be joining Avem as a Senior Analyst and look forward to growing with the company in the coming years. I aim to help Avem develop their outlook across financial markets, to assist in the development of successful trading strategies and to increase awareness of the company in the EMEA region,” added Mr. Miley.
