Macro Risk Advisors (MRA) has expanded its Risk Strategy team with the addition of Ling Zhou as an Equity Derivatives Strategist. 

The addition of Zhou demonstrates MRA’s continued effort to offer exceptional and timely analysis of global market risk to its institutional investor client base.

“Ling brings a strong base of equity derivatives knowledge and an exceptional ability to develop quantitative tools," says Pravit Chintawongvanich, Head of Risk Strategy at MRA. "Our institutional client base continues to seek our help in valuing products with embedded optionality.  Ling’s product knowledge furthers our mission in this area.”

As the firm expands its client base, the Risk Strategy group will create and offer cutting edge tools that help investors better understand market and trading risk. Working directly with Chintawongvanich, Zhou will help to strengthen the analytics infrastructure that MRA utilises to support its institutional clients and contribute to the overall growth of the firm’s analytical capabilities.

Prior to joining MRA, Zhou was an Assistant Trader at Susquehanna International Group where he traded Treasury securities and municipal bond ETFs on the fixed income desk and participated in the options market making education program. Zhou graduated magna cum laude from Middlebury College with a BA in Mathematics and Economics.
