Japanese Equity Specialist, Ortus Advisors

Andrew Jackson

I have been trading Japanese equities since 2004, and have worked for a number of firms in Tokyo, HK and Singapore. For the last few years I have been primarily focused on developing a propietry long/short relative value sector neutral strategy for the TPX500, taking advantage of the sector depth and liquidity which only Japan has to offer in Asia.
