STAMFORD, Conn. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CRT Capital Group LLC (“CRT”), an independent institutional broker-dealer, today announced the appointment of Hamzah Mazari as a Managing Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst. This key hire follows prior announcements of the firm’s continued expansion of its institutional sales, trading and research platform.
Earlier this year, the company announced the hiring of Stuart Linde as the Director of Equity Research and seven new senior research analysts, which followed CRT’s April 2015 acquisition of the Institutional Equities business of Sterne Agee Group, Inc. Since that transaction, CRT’s Institutional Equity, Research and Banking businesses have operated under the name, “Sterne Agee CRT.”
“We are very excited for Hamzah to join the firm,” stated Mr. Linde. “Hamzah has a tremendous reputation with our institutional client base and provides a differentiated approach to Global Business Services that will further enhance our market position. We are excited to add his coverage to our growing equity research offering.”
Bill Jump, CRT’s President and Head of Equities, commented, “The addition of Hamzah to our platform will further diversify and expand our Equity business. We are thrilled that he is joining our team.”
Mr. Mazari will be responsible for coverage of the Business Services sector, complementing Sterne Agee CRT’s Industrial, Financial and Technology sector coverage. He will provide coverage of global services verticals such as information, environmental, industrial and other diversified services. Mr. Mazari was most recently with Nuverra Environmental Solutions where he was a strategic advisor. Prior to this he spent nearly nine years at Credit Suisse, most recently leading North American Business Services research. While at Credit Suisse, he was ranked runner up in the 2014 Institutional Investor All America Research Team for Business, Professional & Education Services. In 2013 he ranked second in the Greenwich Associates Survey for “Americas Best Stock Analysts” in the Commercial & Consumer Services sector (published in Bloomberg Magazine). He also was ranked “Best Up & Comer” in two categories in the 2010 Institutional Investor All America Research survey. Prior to Credit Suisse, Hamzah was at PricewaterhouseCoopers and KPMG’s transaction advisory group. He holds a B.A. in Economics from Stanford University and the CPA designation.
