30 November 2021

Lucror Analytics is pleased to announce the appointment of Filipe Botelho as a Senior Credit Analyst in its LatAm research team. Filipe will focus on Brazilian credits spanning various sectors, and will report directly to Felix Fischer, Head of Research.

Based in Barcelona, Spain, Filipe has over a decade of financial-market experience, dedicating most of his career to credit research. Prior to joining Lucror, he spent over five years at PineBridge Investments in London and Santiago, where he served as vice-president in the Emerging Markets credit team, covering LatAm companies. Filipe had also been a senior credit analyst for Zurich Insurance in Barcelona for two years, analysing European credits. Other roles he had held previously included market-risk analyst at the corporate treasury of Votorantim Industrial in Sao Paulo, and offshore equity quant analyst for Deutsche Bank/Evalueserve in Chile.

Filipe holds a BSc in Economics from Universidade de Sao Paulo, and is a CFA charter holder.

“Filipe’s deep LatAm experience will enhance our high-yield coverage of the region, especially for Brazilian credits. His insights into the local high-yield space will be invaluable for investors abroad, and will broaden Lucror’s alpha-generating trade ideas,” Felix said.

“We are very pleased to have attracted talent with such pedigree and local-market knowledge. Filipe’s rich experience and LatAm exposure will enhance Lucror’s position as the leading independent high-yield research provider, and his decision to join us is testament to our standing in the fixed-income space,” said CEO Madhav Kapadia.
