Rehan Syed

I work as the Head of Portfolio Management for the ABN AMRO Private Bank Dubai serving high-networth families and small institutions in the Middle-East, North Africa and the greater Indian subcontinent (MENAI). My primary achievement since joining in 2006 was to initiate a new disciplined portfolio management programme for MENAI which provides the company with a high-value-added and clientcentric revenue model that is particularly suited to current market conditions. Today, with support from two junior staff in Dubai and regional headquarters in Singapore, I manage a rapidly growing base of multimanager absolute return portfolios in line with the bank's research and tactical asset allocation models. I have an undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Computer Science (from OWU) and an MBA (from UC Berkeley.)
