This blog is no longer updated but it remains open as an archive.
Banquo has spent more than 20 years in investment banking and the hedge fund industry, splitting his time between London, New York and Geneva.
Why is Banquo anonymous? Because he operates at a senior level across the financial markets, advising and investing, buying and selling, hiring and firing. He's still in the game but if he has a relevant financial interest in the subject of his posts, you'll know about it. Being anonymous keeps things simple. Banquo will never betray a confidence although he is privy to many.
