Independent Broker-Dealer Launches Location, Firm’s Third, in Boca Raton

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Odeon Capital Group LLC (“Odeon”), the independent fixed income broker-dealer with investment banking and research services, today announced the opening of their new office in Boca Raton, Florida. Odeon’s new office will serve as a launching point for future sales, trading and research development across Florida and the southeastern United States.

“The deep talent pool in South Florida made it an obvious choice for a new location as we look to bolster our top-in-class staff and further expand our full-service model nationwide”

“The deep talent pool in South Florida made it an obvious choice for a new location as we look to bolster our top-in-class staff and further expand our full-service model nationwide,” said Evan Schwartzberg, CEO of Odeon. “Above all else, Odeon’s ability to identify and retain key talent is the backbone of our vast research, trading and sales capabilities, and will continue to be the cornerstone of our growth strategy.”

Ronald Tesmond, a veteran of both the buy and sell side of the fixed income business, has been hired as a Senior Vice President of Odeon to lead the new office’s sales and trading initiatives, which span traditional and esoteric asset classes. Tesmond’s investment career spans nearly two decades in the fixed income markets and features a specialization in structured products, portfolio management, security valuation and trading. Prior to his position with Odeon, Tesmond worked at Deutsche Asset Management, Banc One / JP Morgan and most recently ACP Securities LLC, where he was a Vice President.

The new office is the third location for Odeon, and marks the second expansion for the New York-based firm in under a month. Following Odeon’s success in New York, which saw the firm execute over $2.5 billion volume in trades in their first thirteen months of operation, Odeon in June announced their first expansion with the opening of their Austin, Texas office.
