2010 has brought on quite a few changes and on my end that’s been no different. In early December I amicably left my prior firm. I have nothing but positive things to say about the group I worked in.

That said I’ve branched out on my own and started my firm M. Moye Consulting.  While having my own firm is slightly different, much will stay the same on my end. My simple philosophy on recruiting will continue to be to partner with firms/groups that I enjoy working with and find them people that match their goals/needs within my network.

Regarding the boring name… From working with many different hedge funds and groups I’ve always thought it was interesting how they came up with their names and what mine would be in the future. Although I had some “pretty cool” names, which my wife rolled her eyes at each, I decided to keep it simple and get to work. Unfortunately “Moye Consulting” and “Moye Associates”  were both taken, thus the single initial was born.

I’ll keep this short and sweet but if any of my connections would like to catch up my new email address is matt.moye (at) mmoyeconsulting.

Rohit D’Souza was on vacation with his family in India in May 2008 when he got a call from Ken Griffin, founder and chief executive officer of Citadel Investment Group LLC. Griffin wanted the banker, who had just quit his job as head of equity trading and sales at Merrill Lynch & Co., to help him do something no other hedge fund had ever tried….

This is nothing new to the Europe but I’ve been hearing about it for a while over in the States:

A flood of U.S. firms have streamed into Europe’s carbon credit trading system; in this and other ways firms are forging ahead under the assumption that the Senate will pass a climate change bill that creates a market for trading carbon credits. By Penny Crosman
