BNY Mellon has made another significant addition to its global strategy team with the appointment of John Velis as FX and Macro Strategist for the Americas.

In his new role, Velis will take his place among the Aerial View commentators, sharing his insights through regular market commentary distributed to both clients and the media.
 
Velis joins BNY Mellon from State Street, where he was instrumental in running a Macro Research function that applied proprietary data on investor behaviour, market-risk modelling and real-time inflation analysis to the firm’s client base.
 
Prior to State Street, Velis was based in London and worked at Vanguard Asset Management, Russell Investments and ABN AMRO. He is based in New York and will report to Simon Derrick, Chief Currency Strategist.
